Sociologist has only won a maiden race at Southwell so far though went close at Beverley recently while Dyagilev look worth another chance over today’s distance having scored over 1m2f at Chelmsford. Hammy End was placed again on his reappearance but remains 6lb higher than his only success to date but Muraaqeb won over track and trip in February and is not out of this. HERM has recorded all four wins on the all-weather so far at Wolverhampton but finished runner-up off today’s mark when last seen over course and distance and may prove good enough on this occasion.
