KAKA'S COUSIN could be on a very handy mark for his handicap bow and he gets the nod in a typically competitive renewal. Scorpio Rising is most-progressive and has to enter calculations following an impressive hat-trick success at Windsor, while Dan Skelton's Unknown Entity makes plenty of appeal on the back of his much-improved Wincanton form.

Scorpio Rising He's a rapid improver and a 7lb rise for his latest taking success at Sandown may not be enough to halt him

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Four Springs and Gentleman Toboot could be the most susceptible in a race in which competition for the lead looks plentiful: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Unknown Entity and Scorpio Rising are two who may benefit.
Individual Price Hint: Unknown Entity traded at 10% or less of Betfair SP and 50% or less of Betfair SP on 2 of its last 5 starts: Wolf Walker traded at 25% or less of Betfair SP twice on its last 4 starts.
