SOLIX will be back over fences soon but, in the meantime, can take advantage of a lenient mark over hurdles by landing this.

He makes more appeal than The Kings Assassin, raised 2lb since his course and distance third two weeks ago. Hazzaat won on debut here in June but has found life a lot tougher since while Warsaw Pact will do well to figure from 11lb out of the handicap.
