None of these inspire much confidence but SOLID JUSTICE drops down in class with Jack Garrity's 3lb claim helping his cause and may prove good enough. Mysterial's winning run came to end at Ayr when racing off today's mark and Moojaned was well beaten at Brighton attempting to follow an earlier success at Lingfield. The remainder are harder to fancy in their current form though Sakhra and Belrog have tumbled down the handicap.
