Foresight is our selection ahead of Solas Alainn and Don't Stop Me Now. Amanda Perrett's charge is bred for stamina so the massive step up in trip looks to be in his favour. The losses at Folkestone can be recouped in a race that lacks quality. Solas Alainn looks of interest in handicaps. She still looks to be learning the trade. Don't Stop Me Now plugged on over 1m4f at Wolverhampton. Her form had been ordinary prior to that effort. Kaichou may appreciate the step up to this trip. Kritzia is open to further improvement and could be one to note in the market. Foresight owes the backers plenty and today could well be the day.
