Formscan - Dappled Light commands respect after a game C&D win last month and the six-year-old commands plenty of respect off a 4lb higher mark. However, THAPA VC is a fellow dual track-and-trip winner that has plenty going for him on these terms. With Jack Callan claiming 3lb from the saddle, the durable eight-year-old is a slightly more attractive proposition. King Of Speed completes the shortlist.
