Very little strength in depth in this although due to the various quirks of two of the main protagonists we could have some fun and games at the finish. Despite having to concede 6lb to the whole field C&D winner WHAT'S OCCURRING looks the safest option given that he’s straightforward and jumps well. Super Scorpion really ought to have won last time out when he idled and was caught on the run-in although he did have to have his slipping hood removed at halfway and incident won’t have helped. Valseur Du Granval returns from a break having found the handicapper tough on him over fences; he travels well but isn’t the strongest finisher and may get outbattled here.
