Verdict

Scorpiancer failed to cope with a penalty at Kempton last time having won at Ludlow earlier while Vinnie Red has been beaten in a couple of subsequent starts since scoring at Stratford back in October. It remains to be seen if RED SPINNER fares any better after winning at Musselburgh last month but he gets a tentative vote anyway given the remaining trio have yet to show any worthwhile form over hurdles, including the point-to-point winner Let's Be Famous.
