Solomoon put a poor Wetherby debut behind him to gain a surprise victory at Doncaster and has plenty more to offer. Chandlers Bay fell at the last when mounting a challenge in that Wetherby contest though the form hasn't worked out as well as expected. GEORGI GIRL had no problems making a winning start at Ludlow where she was always travelling like a winner. She looks the one to beat despite her penalty. Juggernaut has a nice pedigree and will have come on plenty for his run in a bumper at Wincanton last month.
