William Hill TV

Despite the smallish field, a red-hot renewal. Ready preference is for PUNCHESTOWNS (nap), who was top class over hurdles and already looks set to be as good over fences judging by the style of his Grade 1 novice win at Sandown last time. His jumping over fences has been assured for the most part, one notable blunder last time excepted, and he seemed to learn from that afterwards. Stablemate Long Run has the running power to be a big threat but the fences are a major concern for him, so Diamond Harry may emerge as the biggest threat.[Mel Cullinan]

2/1 9/4

Susp.

Spotlight : Top-flight staying hurdler, including when second to Big Buck's in World Hurdle at last year's festival; did very well when shrugging off bad blunder before going on to reel in good horse in 2m4f Sandown Grade 1 to make it two from two over fences last time; has jumped well for the most part chasing and strong claims, barring mishaps.

11/4 3/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Grade 1 winner over hurdles and fences in France and confirmed that he is a top-class prospect in winning both novice chases since joining this yard, by wide margin in 3m Kempton Grade 1 and then dropped to 2m at Warwick; has the engine to mix it with very best of these but jumping hasn't entirely convinced and in for a big test here.

6/1 11/2

Susp.

Spotlight : Very smart staying hurdler, including when twice a winner here; made it two from two over fences when surviving couple of mistakes and repelling smart sort over 3m at Newbury last month; capable of making presence felt, provided jumping holds up over these demanding fences.

9/1 10/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Useful hurdler, though not quite in same league as some of these; improved for the switch to fences, making it four from four in Ascot Grade 2 last time, but this is a much sterner test and needs to find more.

10/1 12/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Took 3m Grade 1 novice hurdle at last year's festival; good efforts in defeat in 3m/2m5f Grade 1 novice chases at Leopardstown last twice and return to longer trip will suit, but pitched into unusually strong renewal of this and more is needed.

	Walsh, R/ Mullins, W

10/1 11/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Marked improvement over fences of late, completing a front-running hat-trick, including defeating Weapon's Amnesty in 2m5f Leopardstown Grade 1; this tougher and faster ground to contend with upped in trip but progressive profile demands respect.

20/1 18/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Good hurdler who has made up into similar-calibre staying novice over fences but seemingly held by couple of these on recent form and hard to see him playing anything other than minor role; often front-runs.

40/1 33/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Best form so far over fences when making all and landing Haydock novice handicap (2m4f, heavy) in gutsy style off 135 last time; this calls for significantly more, faster ground is a worry and still has something to learn about jumping (bad mistake last time and fell twice earlier on this season, including here).

Susp.

Spotlight : Useful novice hurdler couple of seasons ago but not so good chasing back from a winter off this term and also has jumping/stamina questions to answer; hard to fancy.
