Worcester Race 2 - Fbc Manby Bowdler 'Chasing Excellence' Beginners' Chase (Gbb Race)

SCORPIO RISING (4) made swift and rapid progress last season including winning the valuable G3 EBF Novices Handicap Hurdle Final at Sandown Park. Struggled attempting G1 level at Aintree but holds very strong claims now tackling fences. Classy. TALK TO THE MAN (5) looked exciting in two hurdle starts year before never getting involved at Aintree in the G1 Sefton Novices Hurdle. One of the De Lay Hey horses to join Dan Skelton and could improve. KLIMT MADRIK (3) finished second in the G1 Challow Novices Hurdle last season and is a smart recruit to fences. BILL JOYCE (1) will have big targets further down the line.

Racing second-up today. Fresh up after five months ran last in a small field at this track on October 12 over 4600m, 49 len behind Potters Charm carrying 71kg at $67. Previously second-up finished fifth of 8 starters at Lisronagh P2p on November 1 over 4828m, 12 len behind Lawful Ruler with 61kg. Will strip fitter but needs to go up a notch.
