SOPHOSC overcame trouble in-running to make a winning start over hurdles at Plumpton in May and has won twice on the Flat since. There is plenty of scope for further improvement. Ince reverts to novice company having won a handicap at Worcester in July while Larusso got off the mark at the sixth attempt at Sedgefield. Son Of Aliciaslady has disappointed so far under Rules but has had wind surgery since last seen. Cornicello showed promise last season and Allbetsoff had every chance when falling at the last at Cartmel. Gone In Sixty looks the pick of the remainder.
