CONCORDE would have been on a four-timer but for being eased down and caught at Chelmsford and is now 27lb higher than when scoring easily here last month. He sauntered home at Pontefract last time and still looks well treated, despite a penalty, so can go in again. Maid In London didn't quite get the run of the race at Wolverhampton but still won going away while Inspirited was an easy winner at Brighton in September though takes on better class opposition. Violeta hasn't had the best of luck in-running at Newcastle and isn't out of this but Mister Sox may just need this after a long absence.
