Sociable is still a maiden but has some respectable form and shaped better than his finishing position suggests on his handicap debut at Newmarket last month. Retirement has not been disgraced on either start this term and is entitled to go close again while Octennial has shaped as though he will appreciate the step up in trip. Both Thundergod and El Raymondo have been performing creditably in defeat of late and are others to consider in a wide open heat.
