Unless John Dunlop's newcomer, Kong, is especially smart, this should be a match between Solaria's Quest and Mozafin, with the former just preferred. Alan King's gelding was not knocked about when third at Chepstow on his debut a fortnight ago. It was a very pleasing start and he should be winning soon. Mozafin has a lot more experience under his belt, but Mick Channon's colt has shown enough to win a race, and only went down by a neck at Thirsk last time. However, he may be best on faster ground, and Solarias Quest is preferred.
