A winner twice over fences this year, DANCING IN THE SKY (NAP) reverts to the smaller obstacles on a lower mark and should take all the beating with Cillian Leonard taking off a further 7lb.

Vinnie's Getaway and Dalaman could figure returning to action but most of the others have something to prove at present.
