William Hill TV

With just 14lb covering the entire field on official ratings (10lb on Racing Post figures) none can be ruled out. Poquelin and Tranquil Sea are the two going forward and the former is taken to reverse Paddy Power placings but there are big prices available about others for whom a good case can be made. Among them is DEEP PURPLE who looked much improved in the autumn, had a valid excuse for his King George flop and represents an in-form stable. Voy Por Ustedes will be a big threat if blinkers spark a revival but Poquelin is feared most.[Frank Carter]

	Walsh, R/ Nicholls, P
(96)	Form: 387-121 Age: 7 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

7/2 3/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Matured into a high-class chaser this season, putting up a career-best performance when a ready winner under a big weight in Boylesports.com Gold Cup over C&D in December (form franked by second); that run and previous second to Tranquil Sea were particularly commendable given that he has always seemed best served by the quicker ground he will encounter here.

	Barbers Shop	164
	Geraghty, B J/ Henderson, N
(82)	Form: 1/217-43 Age: 8 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

11/2 6/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Stays 3m but may well prove ideally served by the return to shorter having not really lasted home after trying to match strides with Denman in the Hennessy and Kauto Star in the King George (wore cheekpieces both times) and gone close over about this trip here twice early in chasing career; something to find on official figures but Barry Geraghty prefers him to Jack The Giant and Petit Robin.

	Tranquil Sea	167
	McNamara, Andrew J/ O'Grady, E
(18)	Form: 6-21121 Age: 8 Weight: 11-10

4/1 5/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Grade 1 novice hurdle winner two seasons ago and has really got his act together over fences this season, confidently ridden to land the Paddy Power from Poquelin here and scoring his third Graded win of the season at Leopardstown last month; can play a big part with trip and ground to suit.

	Voy Por Ustedes	174
	Thornton, R/ King, A
(33)	Form: 121-364 Age: 9 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

12/1 11/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Joint-top on BHA figures but not really fired this season, albeit doing well to finish so close to Albertas Run and Planet Of Sound at Ascot (has best of weights now) and raced at inappropriate trips (3m/2m1f) since; tends to peak in the spring and the multiple Grade 1 winner will look a big price if the first-time blinkers have the desired effect.

	Moloney, P/ Williams, E
(82)	Form: 121-11P Age: 9 Weight: 11-10

14/1 12/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Taken form to a new level this season, rallying gamely to foil more likely stayers upped to 3m1f in the Charlie Hall and topping that with victory in Peterborough Chase (holds Albertas Run); needs to bounce back after breaking blood vessel in King George but should find ground to suit and can get involved if back on song.

	Johnson, R/ Hobbs, P
(26)	Form: 133-12F Age: 8 Weight: 11-10

11/1 10/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Jumping frailties resurfaced at Ascot last time but ran right up to form, despite a couple of mistakes, when third in last season's Arkle Chase and has continued his improvement this term; should stay, probably has more to offer and has to come into calculations.

	Schindlers Hunt	171
	Flood, P W/ Hughes, D
(39)	Form: 2-22453 Age: 10 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

11/1

Susp.

Spotlight : In fine form last spring, finishing close behind Voy Por Ustedes in this race and at Aintree (where he went under by a head after blundering two out); tongue-tie worn then has been missing this season and he has not been quite at his best, albeit running much more encouragingly when third in slowly run Leopardstown Hennessy Gold Cup (3m, soft), fading after mistake last; trip/ground ideal and entitled to be thereabouts.

	Albertas Run	171
	McCoy, A P/ O'Neill, Jonjo
(26)	Form: 3-P1362 Age: 9 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

16/1

Susp.

Spotlight : 2008 RSA Chase winner who fought a losing battle at highest level as second-season chaser but has lost little of his ability, making the most of a bright chance at the weights to beat Planet Of Sound and Voy Por Ustedes at Ascot before being put in his place back on easier ground since (held by Deep Purple on Peterborough Chase running); drying conditions will help and entitled to be thereabouts.

	Petit Robin	168
	Carberry, P/ Henderson, N
(54)	Form: 2237-12 Age: 7 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

12/1 14/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Found wanting at the top level over 2m by the likes of Master Minded and Twist Magic over the last year and the occasional shortcomings in his jumping were evident against the latter at Ascot most recently; won over extended 2m3f on soft ground early in career in France (and over hurdles in Britain) and blundered away his chance over 2m4f at Aintree in the spring but still has a bit to prove at this trip.

	Scotsirish	165
	Townend, P/ Mullins, W
(60)	Form: 4-35431 Age: 9 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

22/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Something to find with the likes of Petit Robin and Voy Por Ustedes on form here and at Aintree last spring; arguable that he took another step forward when landing Fairyhouse Grade 2 in January and return to further should suit (has form over 3m) but needs to raise game again.

	Jack The Giant	168
	Tinkler, A/ Henderson, N
(481)	Form: 36111/1- Age: 8 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

33/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Had problems and is still relatively lightly raced; off 15 months since trouncing handicap rivals off 151 when a hot favourite at Ascot but has a fine record fresh and, although raced mainly at about 2m and often keen to get on with things, he has won over 2m4f and this has long been seen as a target for him; third in 2007 Arkle and capable of making his presence felt.

	J'y Vole	174
	Condon, D J/ Mullins, W
(33)	Form: 4-10371 Age: 7 Weight: 11-3
		Spotlight

14/1 25/1

Susp.

Spotlight : Good claim on official figures and her record at 2m4f/2m5f in Ireland reads 1113131; comes here at top of her form following wide-margin Gowran Park Grade 2 success but appreciates softer ground and, like stablemates, passed over by Ruby Walsh here.

	Barker	167
	Casey, D J/ Mullins, W
(102)	Form: 0112-1U Age: 9 Weight: 11-10
		Spotlight

Susp.

Spotlight : Much improved for switch to this stable last spring, went close in the Powers Gold Cup (2m4f, good) before proving far too good for below-par Forpadydeplasterer back at 2m in another Grade 1 at Punchestown; unseated before race had developed on latter course in December, injured subsequently and not had an ideal preparation.
