Verdict
Socially Shady is back on the same mark as when completing a double over the track and trip last summer though that was on fast going, as was Sudona's success over 1m2f on the track at the same time. Mukha Magic is a Southwell specialist these days while Crimson King, three-times an all-weather winner, is still a maiden on Turf. CORMIER's (NAP) two victories last summer were in Class 6 company but he's progressed over hurdles and finished second in the Grade 3 Swinton Hurdle at Haydock earlier this month so looks on a very fair mark. Chairman Power cost 525,000gns but has been well beaten at this level the last twice. Sociologist was engaged in the 3.05 at Ripon yesterday.
