Verdict

Lots of these bring potential, not least Dan Skelton's handicap debutant HARRY LOWES who can build on his very good Market Rasen third and quickly resume winning ways. Scorpio Rising has better days ahead of him too and rates a big threat in his hat-trick bid, while others who can make their presence felt in this intriguing contest include Lisbane Park, Kel du Large and Fresh Kicks.
