Verdict
A couple of these escape penalties having won at this lowly level last time including ODD SOCKS HAVANA, who also landed this race last year. He’s taken to confirm latest running with both Laoch Gach La and Mr Coco Bean. No Diggity’s victory at Kempton came over 7f while Mintnthat and Otto Oyl have a shout dropping down to this level. Chimeric has yet to win in 30 attempts.
