It was a lesser race that Snapping Turtle won at Musselburgh earlier this month and he's 8lb higher. Danceintothelight continues to flatter to deceive but Ballyreesode arrives in decent form while Abbeygrey reverts to hurdles off a potentially lenient mark. WEYBRIDGE LIGHT hasn't won for more than a year but wasn't beaten far at Fakenham on his latest start over hurdles and has had a run on the all-weather since. If in the mood, he could take all the beating despite top weight.
