Indian Solitaire looks to have enough to do off top weight, while Brighton winner Shafeeq, struggled to win his maiden. Houston Park, has more to do in this grade off a 5lb higher mark and should again have the measure of Desert City, but neither should be good enough at this level. There should be little to choose between Lewis Island and Duke Of Earl, but preference is for the latter, who was badly drawn at Kempton. Keetchy, well supported at Haydock, will find this a bit easier and is taken to lose his maiden tag.
