Verdict

FOX’S SOCKS and Mystic Man have both changed stables since clashing here in May. The latter had more than three lengths to spare over the former on that occasion but Mike Sowerby’s recent acquisition, who started favourite that day, is now a massive 16lb better off and has placed again around here since. Onenightintown has won a couple of times over fences and Brian Hughes takes over the reins while Conceal would have a chance on his best form. Any market interest in chasing newcomer Tedwin Hills would have to be taken seriously.
