Having not been seen to best effect at Exeter last time, RISK DE PLUIE will be suited by this longer trip/track and he's capable of making a bold bid. Soldierofthestorm bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt over fences and should have more to offer, while the admirably consistent El Granjero is entitled to be in the mix in a tight handicap.
