      Verdict

      Beggarman missed out on a hat-trick when finishing last of four runners at Southwell behind third-placed SOCIALLY SHADY. The latter was upped in class here on his latest start and gets another chance back at this lower level. Chocolate Box ran below par when favourite at Lingfield having narrowly beaten the selection back in November but Robeam won off a similar mark here in September and Gold Standard is interesting as he steps up in trip.
