In depth
Verdict
Carrying overweight when second in a small field over 3m here last month, SO SOCKSY has a slightly easier task in this and Ben Jones takes over from a 7lb claimer. Getaweapon may need to drop a few pounds before landing a handicap while Gaia Vallis has been running in sellers and is out of the weights. The other pair are even harder to recommend.
