Verdict

Only Spoofing was due to run here yesterday while Lost My Sock won at Ripon recently and Harrogate scored at the same track. RORY got his head in front at Hamilton last time having earlier been beaten a head over track and trip with both The Thin Blue Line and Primo's Comet behind. He can go close again and is preferred to both Street Life and Fashion Advice.
