FormscanBy Michael Graham - SOCRATIC stepped up on previous efforts when third in Gowran Park so has prospects here. He availed of stall one and first-time cheekpieces to lead until collared inside the final furlong of that seven-furlong race. He has the same gate, the cheekpieces are retained, and the drop back in trip could pay off. Ever Rock came home strongly to score in Down Royal and Declan McDonogh is back on board. She is a threat. Canford Art signalled a return to form when runner-up in Cork. Indiana Rose and Strange Times are others to consider.
