      Verdict

      LOST MY SOCK placed here on his only previous outing on the all-weather and won a higher grade sprint at Chester recently. Tim Easterby’s charge can go in again raised only 2lb. Big Thanks and Tantastic filled the places at Haydock last month with the former expected to confirm superiority while Readman has shout on collateral form and went close over a longer trip at Wolverhampton last time. Global Response and Ballintoy Harbour are novice winners on Tapeta while Miss Nay Never landed a nursery at Wolverhampton at the end of last year.
