The Scorpion King^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: G Sheehan| T: O Signy| OR: 95

4/1

Off the mark in a Fontwell handicap last month, though success looked unlikely for a long way, going in snatches and labouring before rallying to lead close home. Respected.

Form: 4P6461

Supasunrise^p²⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Finn Lambert⁽³⁾| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 89

18/5

Doubled career tally at Warwick (20f) in November and largely given his running subsequently, creditable fourth of 13 at Huntingdon last time. Should be on the premises.

Form: 1P2244

Kooky⁴⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: David Noonan| T: Mrs J Williams| OR: 85WS

11/1

Reached the frame in first 2 hurdles but has failed to kick on since sent into handicaps. Has work to do on chasing debut after a breathing operation.

Form: 33-407P

Jack Doyen^b¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: J M Quinlan| T: B I Case| OR: 84| CD

3/1

Unreliable individual. Improved to win 8-runner handicap chase at this C&D (soft, 5/1) 13 days ago. Claims if he's in a similar mood.

Form: 5853F1

Village Master¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR: 78

5/1

Runner-up in an Irish point and has shown a glimmer of promise over hurdles. Early switch to chasing is interesting given his background.

Form: 52577

Watchoutitscookie¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-9| J: Miss Ella Herbison⁽⁷⁾| T: N J Hawke| OR: 76

9/2

Poor hurdler who showed some aptitude for chasing under a positive ride when third at Exeter last time. Could make his presence felt in a weak race if he builds on that.

Form: 3-99243

Man Of The North⁹⁰

Age: 11| Weight: 10-7| J: Lee Edwards| T: Dave Roberts| OR: 74

28/1

Veteran who was pulled up over hurdles at Leicester 3 months ago and arrives with a fair bit to prove.

Form: 0424-4P

Jack Doyen (3/1), Supasunrise (18/5), The Scorpion King (4/1), Watchoutitscookie (9/2), Village Master (5/1), Kooky (11/1), Man Of The North (28/1)

Although looking a hard ride for most of the way, THE SCORPION KING was well on top at the finish when scoring at Fontwell last time and, in a weak race, he's worth chancing to follow up. Jack Doyen is another one to consider on the back of success over C&D and Watchoutitscookie can't be ruled out on the back of an encouraging chasing debut.
