In depth
Verdict
Richard Johnson partners UNSAFE CONDUCT for the first time and the top weight can get back to winning ways against modest opposition. Away For Slates is having a first run for a new yard following a break but Powerful Society should go well off a low weight and course winner Sadma is looking fairly treated, though is not one to trust with the mortgage. Midnight Midge won over track and trip 10 days ago but Desiremoi D'Authie finished a close-up fourth and is 5lb better off. Working Class was awarded a race at Fakenham before Christmas, with Stormingin a close third, but the first past the post has done little to enhance the form since.
