Verdict
Renvyle, Slaney Lass and Parisian Storm are the three to concentrate on here with the vote going to the last named. Parisian Storm took his time to transform his point to point form to under rules but has now found a niche in novice hurdles. He became disappointing over fences but with two hurdle victories under his belt this season has found another opportunity to score again under a double penalty. Renvyle reverts to the smaller obstacles for the first time since finishing a reasonable fourth at Sandown back in February. He then went on to win a novice chase at Bangor but has looked a little uneasy of late over fences so any market moves should be checked on his return to hurdles. Slaney Lass had his debut over fences last time out and he jumped badly left when finishing a distant third at Stratford that day. His hurdles form reads well enough to give him a place chance. But with the Evan Williams string in such fantastic form at present Parisian Storm can continue that fine run.
