Socialist Agenda was engaged in the 2.40 here yesterday. December’s Huntingdon winner Restandbethankful has a decent strike-rate and has the highest official rating though, like Since Day One who is on a four-timer, has a small penalty to carry. Corrigeen Rock doesn’t look an easy ride but Livelifetothemax is improving with experience and a case can definitely be made for KIHAVAH, who has become battle-hardened in handicaps and is holding his form well.
