Formscan - A return to hurdles appears to have reinvigorated LOUP DE MAULDE, who won with any amount in hand at Huntingdon 11 days ago. He was given an 8lb rise for that success but this doesn't look the strongest of races and he can make it two on the spin. Lily Glitters was a disappointing favourite when behind the selection at Hereford last month but a return to this track, where she won in April, may rejuvenate her. Unblinking was not disgraced last time and is another to consider.
