Lednikov ended last year with a double at Southwell while Solanna has been thereabouts since scoring over a shorter trip here in January. The latter comment also applies to Dynakite while Where‘s Tom was narrowly beaten over track and trip on his penultimate start when ahead of SILASTAR. But the latter stumbled on that occasion when still in with every chance and Gary Moore’s charge is taken to turn the tables with normal luck in-running.
