      Verdict

      Scorpions Sting has yet to win a race but finds himself at the head of the weights for his chasing debut after a couple of placed efforts over timber. SHADY LANE has had four starts over fences but took his time to get over his fall on his debut at Wincanton a year ago though he's won over hurdles and looks ready to gain his first chasing victory. Our Boy Ben has had three runs over fences and has yet to go close while Missionaire, twice a winner on the Flat, has had just three placed efforts in 19 starts over jumps.
