EVER SO MUCH made a winning start for Ben Haslam at Sedgefield. He can follow up here under a penalty as he's much less exposed than stablemate Executive's Hall. The Society Man looks the danger as recent efforts suggest he's improved a little of late. Winning hurdler Nether Stream has only had three runs over fences but hasn't shown a great deal so far.
