Solaria looks capable of scoring in this company and is selected ahead of Mujahope and Thankuforthemusic. The selection hails from the in-form Eoghan O'Neill yard and made a satisfactory debut here in a seller over a mile earlier in the month. She ran green that day so can be expected to improve for the experience whilst this longer trip should also be in her favour. Thankuforthemusic is also from a yard going great guns at present and is another potential improver after just one start. He ran well enough on his debut in a 7 furlong maiden, has plenty of stamina on the distaff side and has to be respected. Mujahope has a little more form in the book, having already made the frame three times at this level. He looks sure to be thereabouts but may prove vulnerable once again. Hawa Khana and Tapas Lad are others with claims but we'll take Solaria to shine for us.
