THEY'RE CHANCERS was a convincing winner of his sole start in bumpers earlier this year and appeals as the type to progress over hurdles. He can land the spoils. The Russell/Scudamore duo Triple Crown Ted and Linalene are feared most.
SCORPIO RISING confirmed the promise of his hurdles debut third back in the spring when readily opening his account at Perth in October and, appealing as the type to rate higher still now handicapping for his excellent stable, he's fancied to make another bold bid. Ski Lodge has an absence to overcome but boasts a very similar profile to the selection and may well emerge as the chief danger, ahead of Warwick scorer Another Fine Mess.
Plenty are in with a shout but UNASSUMING caught the eye when coming from off a steady pace to score cosily at Wolverhampton last time so looks the way to go. Both Yaaser (second choice) and King's Lynn are weighted to go well and head the list of dangers with Cruyff Turn and Benacre completing the shortlist.
