Verdict
Miss Antipova returned to form with a second at Ffos Las and she has now placed five times over fences. Fox's Socks is still unexposed over the larger obstacles but Overtougeorge has yet to place in a chase and hasn’t run since June last year. DIME STORE COWGIRL found only one too good on her chasing bow at Wincanton and she can go one better here only 2lb higher with Patagonia likely to prove the pick of the remainder.
