ONE FOR HOCKY was only raised 4lb for scoring over track and trip earlier this month. Most of that is negated by Harry Challoner's allowance so Nicky Richards' charge looks capable of going in again. Clonleney has a shout back on a faster surface after a pipe-opener at Carlisle while Ballyreesode posted a better effort at Newcastle last time. The remainder are struggling at present and harder to fancy.
