      Verdict

      It looks like SOCKSY has only to complete to land this. She won over a shorter trip here before running well for third in a handicap back over these obstacles and has little to fear from today’s opposition, who have yet to show any worthwhile form over hurdles. Alameda did manage to finish fourth in a bumper last year while Sea Rebelle makes her hurdling debut having failed to figure in five starts on the Flat.
