Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Socks Off
Socks Off looks the one to beat in this seven-runner Southwell staying contest, with our ratings putting him 100 and a clear five pounds clear of Soldier In Mayo on 95, a gap that should tell over 20 furlongs on good ground. Soldier In Mayo is the chief danger, while Helios Allen on 87 and My Bobby's Lass on 84 are a further step back and need to improve to get involved. The bottom three on 76, 74 and 69 look up against it, so Socks Off is the confident choice.
