Formscan - SOIR DE GALA carried over his good form over hurdles to the larger obstacles with a fluent display at Stratford on his chasing bow. There looks plenty more to come over fences from Paul Nicholls' five-year-old and he is taken to defy a 9lb rise. Perth winner Planned Paradise wasn't at his best raised 8lb at Cartmel and has something to prove now, but Glynn is potentially well treated on the pick of his form and ran well for third over these fences last time.
