Il Est Francais could blow all of these away if producing the same brilliant form he showed 12 months ago when easily winning the Grade 1 novice chase on this card. However, his subsequent fortunes have been mixed and he was pulled up at Auteuil last month. Preference is for fellow 6yo SPILLANE'S TOWER (nap), who won the Grade 1 Champion Novice Chase over 3m1f at Punchestown in April and reappeared with an excellent second there in a thrilling and top-notch running of the John Durkan Memorial. Second choice is Banbridge, who needs to prove his stamina but finished powerfully for a Grade 2 win over 2m4f here in January. Betfair Chase runner-up Grey Dawning could also be a key player if that gruelling race hasn't left its mark.[Ben Hutton]

(32) Form: 1211-2 Age: 6 Weight: 11-10
Distance Winner Spotlight
 3/1  11/4 10/3 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  All starts have been on softer than good; completed Grade 1 double in the spring (2m4f/3m1f, heavy/yielding), the second leg in the Champion Novice Chase at Punchestown, and he improved again to finish a close second in a red-hot running of the Grade 1 John Durkan Memorial at Punchestown (2m3f, soft) last month; this exciting 6yo could continue to progress now back up in trip; appealing claims.

Course Winner Spotlight
 9/2  5/1 4/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  The big question is whether he'll stay (well beaten over hurdles in April 2022 on sole rules attempt at this sort of trip); however, there's stamina in his pedigree and he was strong at the finish to win the Grade 2 Silviniaco Conti here (2m4f, good to soft) in January; secured second Grade 1 win in April on the only occasion he wore these cheekpieces, and looked in very good heart at Cork recently (final-fence unseat); considered.

 4/1  9/2 5/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Trained in France (stablemate of General En Chef); has flopped at Auteuil on two of his last three starts (pulled up there last month, reportedly burst a blood vessel); arrives with something to prove but he won a Grade 3 at Auteuil (2m6f, heavy) in September and could be tough to beat if in the same brilliant form that saw him make all by 11l in the Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase over C&D (good) on this card 12 months ago.

 5/1  11/2 6/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Highly progressive novice chaser last term, winning the Grade 1 Turners at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft); effective on good to soft, unraced on good, and won here over hurdles on this day in 2022; had a very hard race on his reappearance when creditable second in the Grade 1 Betfair Chase at Haydock (3m1f, soft) 33 days ago but could play a leading role if that hasn't left its mark.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Jumped to the left in this two years ago (soft; in second when unseating at final fence) and soundly beaten fourth in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) in March when last seen; however, has an excellent record when fresh and landed a quality chase at Lingfield (2m6f, soft) on last season's comeback; won two Grade 1 novice chases in 2022 (good to soft/soft) and not ruled out for yard with tremendous big-race record in recent months.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Won this in 2022 (soft) and second in the Gold Cup next time; hasn't hit the same heights since and has to produce more than he's managed on his two runs this term, but those were fair efforts and he ran creditably when second in this 12 months ago (good); each-way chance back here.

(59) Form: 2F13-2 Age: 7 Weight: 11-10

 16/1  14/1 16/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Bolted up in NH Chase at Cheltenham (3m6f, heavy) in March before good third in Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, soft); highly likely he needed his October comeback run; the hood worn on last three runs is left off; some improvement is probably needed and he's unproven on the forecast good ground, but he's only seven and is in excellent hands; no surprise to see a big run.

Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  French trained; has won eight of his 14 races, including Grade 1 4yo chase in May 2023 and three Grade 3s since; this 5yo could have more to offer and his yard had a Grade 2 novice hurdle winner at Cheltenham this month, but a sizeable chunk of improvement is needed in this illustrious field.

(54) Form: 2P5-U1 Age: 8 Weight: 11-10
Distance Winner Spotlight
 25/1  28/1 25/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Made all in Grade 1 novice chase at the Cheltenham Festival (3m, soft) in March 2023 and, having drawn a blank last season (10l fourth in this), he returned to winning ways in the Grade 2 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby (3m, good) last month; his stable is flying and he could make another bold bid but a career best is needed if he's to follow up now back up in grade.

 66/1  50/1 40/1 SP
Racing Post Logo   Spotlight :  Trained in France (stable also runs Il Est Francais); has done well this year having changed stables and he travelled well and was bang there jumping the final fence in the competitive Coral Gold Cup Handicap at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last month, only to fade into fourth; there's a firm suspicion he'll be vulnerable now back up in grade; wears a reapplied hood and first-time cheekpieces.
