Spinning Ridge's cosy win over 7f here suggests he can make another bold bid off only a 2lb higher mark, but Clearing House failed to follow up his first victory when fourth at Wolverhampton recently. He's not certain to confirm earlier running with Christmas Coming here and JONNIE SKULL makes more appeal after showing signs of a return to form when a close-up fifth over C&D last time. Phil McEntee's charge won off an 11lb higher mark at this time last year and gets the vote ahead of Rainsborough and Tuscan KIng.
