Verdict

JO LESCRIBAA is already proving to be a much better chaser than hurdler and the way he went through the race when scoring at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago suggests there's more to come from him in this sphere. The Scorpion King is thriving at the moment and is an obvious threat, with last year's winner Twilight Glory another who arrives at the top of their game.

  1. JO LESCRIBAA (FR)
  2. THE SCORPION KING
  3. TWILIGHT GLORY
