The Scorpion Kingp18
Age: 6|  Weight: 12-0| J: Ben Jones| T: O Signy| OR:  95| CD
Off the mark in a C&D handicap last month, though success looked unlikely for a long way, going in snatches and labouring before rallying to lead close home. Not an obvious one to follow up.

Joe Cotton11(ex 7)
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-12| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR:  86| D
Point winner who left hurdle efforts behind when making a winning chase debut in 19f Exeter handicap 11 days ago. Came 22 lengths clear and a 7 lb penalty is unlikely to stop him if in the same form.

Walk In The Wildb1,t33
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: N F Houlihan| T: G & J Moore| OR:  88
Made the perfect start sent chasing last season, winning his first two starts. Not been in same form this term but he has been cut plenty of slack by the handicapper and took a step back in the right direction when third at Doncaster (19f, soft) last time.

Added to points tally last year and placed in a pair of 3m handicap chases at Southwell last summer. Arrives fit from some runner-up efforts in points and capable of playing a prominent role.

Elzaaro19
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: K Jewell| OR:  73
Little to shout about in a bumper/4 starts over hurdles so far. Remains to be seen whether he fares any better over fences.

Forecasts

Joe Cotton (6/4), The Scorpion King (3/1), Valirann Gold (7/1), Walk In The Wild (8/1), Concrete King (10/1), Hi Riko (12/1), Touch Tight (16/1), Elzaaro (20/1)

Verdict

A race which revolves around JOE COTTON who will be very hard to beat if in anything like the same form as when scoring easily on last week's Exeter chase debut. The veteran Touch Tight, who was placed in handicaps last summer, arrives fit from points and might be the one to follow him home.
