Going - Hurdle/Bumper: good, good to yielding in places. Chase: good.. Fine

Formscan By Stuart Howden - LUMINOUS LIGHT lost little in defeat when runner-up to a progressive chaser at Tramore last time out and looks competitively treated back in a handicap. Anthony McCann's charge has scope for further improvement in this discipline, and he edges the vote over the class-dropping Rebel Gold. The veteran should find this easier than the Grade 2 he contested at Gowran last time and Eoin Staples 7lb claim will help ease the topweight’s burden. The Banger Doyle had some good fortune when taking this last year off a similar mark, while In The Trenches is a generally consistent sort but remains a maiden after 27 starts.
