Formscan  - Spit Spot is the only C&D winner here and is hard to discount having won here in May off 1lb higher, though she hasn't been at her best lately and others are preferred. LUNAR SHADOW was last seen finishing fourth over hurdles, but won at Bath in August on the Flat and a repeat of that off 3lb higher may be good enough. Spring Glow can follow them home under Marco Ghiani.
