Verdict

Sendiym won this in 2013 and landed a hurdles race over 2m5f here on his latest start. Aregra won at Catterick in December and can be forgiven a poor effort at Market Rasen only a day later. Both can figure in this but the vote goes to SCORPIONS STING (NAP). A hurdles winner on this card last year, he has had just the four starts over fences subsequently and a repeat of his fourth at Kelso should see him in the mix. Agentleman was second at Huntingdon in January but has disappointed since while Gin Cobbler is back on a winning mark if at his best.
