THE SOCIETY MAN unseated after a blunder at the last over these fences earlier in the month when looking the likely winner. He gets a chance to make amends in this. Richmond has yet to race this year and is 10lb higher than last season's victory at Lingfield but Dashing George can race off a lower mark than when scoring at Fakenham in February and has a shout. Hit The Top has failed to figure in either start over fences so far and may be best watched until showing some worthwhile form.
