Tracked leaders, not fluent when not much room 1st, slow 2nd, led after 11th, headed 3 out, no impression on winner flat, just lost out on 2nd close home tchd 9/2
Pure Vision (11/4), Socksy (3/1), Scotchtown (4/1), Another Venture (11/2), Surtee Du Berlais (6/1), Souriyan (8/1)
SOCKSY was impressive on her return to action last time and she has more scope for improvement on just her second start over the larger obstacles. Scotchtown is improving and should be capable of getting in the first three while Pure Vision could prove the main danger to the selection in his bid for a hat-trick and the seven-year-old is proven in the conditions.
