Nicky Henderson had three in this at the four-day stage but relies on SCORPION QUEEN. The Scorpion filly is a half-sister to four winning jumpers so will be expected to pay her way and this is not a difficult start. Fellow newcomer Kalariya is a half-sister to a 6f winner so shouldn't be short of pace. Treackle Tart could also be worth a market check while Arctic Lady and Tara Time are likely to be the pick of those with experience as Black Sam may need this after more than a year on the sidelines.
