RISKINTHEGROUND hasn't made much of an impact of late but he hinted at a return to form at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago so could be worth chancing now just 1 lb above his last winning mark. The in-form Saint Segal is a solid alternative, with Theatre Man another to keep an eye on back from a break (has had breathing operation).
