SOLID STRIKE has a big weight here but ran so well when just failing to concede Waitinonasunnyday 21lb at Leicester last week that he'll take the world of beating if in the same form. Ringaringarosie wasn't beaten far at Sedgefield last month but has yet to win or prove she stays this far while Irish raider Well Joey, who has his first start for Paul Stafford, is 0-25 and hasn't been running well. The veteran Gin Cobbler is out of the handicap and hasn't won for two years but his rider's claim will help and he's not without a chance in a poor contest.
