Lightly raced four-year-old RISE HALL remains a handicapper to keep on the right side of after winning at Nottingham before finished second to a seriously unexposed sort last time out. Escobar has gone well in better handicaps than this in the past and rates a big danger. Dark Jedi likely still has his best days ahead and can't be ruled out here either.
