Verdict
Not a strong opener and SOLWAY SUNSET is a speculative pick against Named at Dinner and Hickory Lane. Solway Sunset is proven on this surface having obliged on four occasions. Granted, his recent form has been nothing to write home about but with a couple of months off the track, there has been ample opportunity to sort out any woes and the mare has a useful jockey booked today. Named At Dinner is capable though inconsistent. The visor stays on again this afternoon. Hickory Lane attempted to make all at Kelso. That rated his best run against a number of inauspicious efforts. Prince Among Men is a light of his former self and that losing run is becoming worrying. Nifty Roy makes the very long trip from the Isle Of Man so the market is watched closely. Destiny Hill is exposed as moderate. He was backed at longer odds ahead of his Catterick appearance. Countrywide Sun has won 1 from 22 over hurdles and is returning friom absence. Esquillion won a soft ground seller for Pat Haslam and now attempts to get back to the winners enclosure under the care of Andy Crook. Solway Sunset is the most token of picks in a modest opener.
