Near Kettering was entered last night at Market Rasen. SOCIOLOGIST heads the shortlist as he’s only a pound higher than when successful over a slightly shorter trip here in April. Lord Torranaga has run well behind the prolific Out Of Breath the last twice while Scudamore has strong claims if forgiven a rare poor run last time at Kempton. Zookeeper should be suited by this first try over 1m4f and fellow three-year-old King Viktor initiated a hat-trick here in April, though has been raised a further 5lb since beaten at Yarmouth in May. Hughie Morrison’s runners do well here so Beggarman is worth a market check in first-time cheekpieces.
