SCORCHER'S SON is from an excellent family and looks to have been allotted a lenient opening mark based on what he's achieved in maiden company, so he's an appealing candidate. Sneddy Eddie has improved over jumps since joining Gordon Elliott and looks interesting from a basement rating back in this code, while in-form pair Justenzia and Miss Australie are others to consider.
