Verdict
SCORPIONS STING won over hurdles at Sedgefield on his latest start and may be good enough on his chasing bow given today's modest opposition. Mwangaza looks pretty exposed over fences without a win in 12 attempts but Beidh Tine Anseo drops a further 7lb down the weights and may finish closer. Great Demeanor looked beaten in third when falling at the last at Perth while Neville Woods failed to show any improvement when last of four over these fences earlier in the month.
