Verdict

Alan King's My Way de Solzen is taken to score here, with Rifleman and New Currency put forward as the main dangers. The selection has shown a good level of form in France and he ran well last time when getting the better of Saltango. He is a big strapping horse who will probably make into a decent chaser, but he looks progressive and he looks more than capable of taking this race. Rifleman is eased in grade after being well beaten last time, and he is certainly capable of getting competitive at this more appropriate level. New Currency was a beaten favourite last time but this ex-Irish performer cannot be ruled out here as he would certainly have claims on the pick of his form. Over The Blues and Bagan are others to note in the market as they are from leading yards and are making their racecourse debuts. However, My Way de Solzen sets a fair standard for the rest here and is taken to score.
