RACE SUMMARY:
Preference is for SOPHOSC, who was value for more than the winning margin at Plumpton on his hurdling debut having been badly hampered 2 out. He has since gone on to score on the Flat so can continue his good run of form and make it 2 from 2 over hurdles. It’s hard to dismiss any of the quartet though, with the hat-trick seeking Pop The Champagne feared most ahead of Rafiki.
