Verdict
Nigel Nott beat fellow four-year-olds when scoring over 5f at here recently but faces a tougher task conceding weight to these younger horses and carrying a penalty. PARTRIDGE was injured at Lingfield when last in action back in July but Richard Hannon’s filly should appreciate this extra furlong on her return having gone close in novice company on a couple of occasions earlier. Time To Strike is another returning from a lay-off while The Cola Kid failed to see out the 7f trip at Kempton on his debut and the newcomer Socialize is worth a second glance in the betting.
