        Verdict

        SOLRAY finished second at Chepstow to an odds-on winner who has subsequently gone in again. He was nine lengths clear of the rest and can go on better in this. Kempton runner-up Moon Flight and Crown Dreams step down in trip for this and may take each other on for the lead while Willow Baby finished closer at Thirsk recently and Pride Of Spain can only improve.
