    Verdict

    Soll landed a mighty gamble for the Pipe team at Exeter on his reappearance where he beat Relax, Golden Chieftain and stablemate Poole Master. But he's not an easy ride and has another 9lb to carry here. Munkerty Tunkerty continues to fly the flag with enthusiasm for Jessica Westwood and the easy Wincanton winner won't go down without a fight while Ballyoliver showed a bit more at Ascot two weeks ago. There's No Panic stays well but was tailed off on his latest start at Sandown and West End Rocker and Victors Serenade also have a bit to prove. FOUROVAKIND might have preferred an easier surface but still looks well treated on his Chepstow victory and can double his tally over fences with Roalco De Farges the danger if back to his best after a short break.
