Scorpio Rising silk
Scorpio Rising
Selected at: 7/2

Scorpio Rising is lightly raced over hurdles, especially in handicaps, and he followed up a smooth maiden success at Perth with a dominant display in a Lingfield handicap. The handicapper has responded with an 8lb rise but there should be loads more to come.
