Though still 7lb higher than when scoring at Lingfield just over a year ago, Uberman placed off a higher mark at Plumpton in the spring and was keeping on when third last time under today’s 7lb claimer. Conceal was third behind Boys Of Wexford at Uttoxeter last month but is 7lb better off. No Worries has only gone up 5lb for winning at Ludlow and Master Malcolm hasn’t been disgraced in a couple of outings this term. If I Say has won a point and a hurdle while Supasunrise and Bells Of Stamford are still at the right end of the handicap but FOX’S SOCKS was only beaten half-a-length at Market Rasen, though has been raised 3lb for that.
