SOPHOSC was just touched off by an in-form rival at Kempton 3 weeks ago, in turn finishing nicely clear of the rest. The 5-y-o remains on a handy mark, despite going up 3 lb for that near miss, and he should prove a tough nut to crack. Puckle bounced back following a string of poor efforts when third at Beverley last month and she is second choice. Star Dreamer is also worthy of consideration.
