Solway Sunset gets the confident vote here with Mister Magnum and Finest of Men rating the main dangers. The selection has shown improved form since being switched to the larger obstacles and won well last time when beating Paint The Lilly. He remains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Mister Magnum rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Nabir. He looks sure to improve for the step up in trip and with his yard in top form he should be watched in the market. Finest Of Men is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Amicelli but that form has since been let down and he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Of the remainder, Brundeanlaws would have a chance on his best form but ran no sort of race last time when pulled up so can not be put forward with any confidencce and for the winner we return to the progressive Solway Sunset.
