        Verdict

        Socks Off won a shade cosily at Lingfield after a pipe-opener on the same track earlier. Rattle Owl has attracted market support in both starts to date but may need further. Datsalrightgino has been knocking on the door and met trouble in-running last time but Arena Star was beaten a long way when third at Bellewstown last summer and is having a first run for a new yard. Party Business is much better off at the weights than when three lengths behind PUNXSUTAWNEY PHIL at Newcastle but Brian Ellison’s four-year-old did well to come out on top that day given he ran green and pulled hard. He clearly has a turn of foot and conditions here may play to his strengths. One For Navigation and newcomer Moriko De Vassy are also worth a second look.
