There was only a head in it when BEGGARMAN got the better of Socially Shady at Chelmsford last month, but Hughie Morrison's charge appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve and he is taken to complete the hat-trick. Socially Shady again went close at Wolverhampton next time and should be on the premises, but a bigger threat may be posed by the consistent Victoriano.
