SOLWAY SUNSET can strike while the irons hot with I'm Your Man and Kirkside Pleasure others to make the shortlist. The mare was the subject of substantial support in the betting shops before winning last week and she is wisely tried again before the handicapper gets his opportunity to strike. I'm Your Man is often well backed and is another to note in the market. He has won for an inexperienced pilot in the past. Kirkside Pleasure is a regular in races of this nature though does not win often. Quillygham won unchallenged off a mark of 85 at Hereford and life will be tougher off this rating. And Whatever Else has an interesting booking in Peter Toole. Ramvaswani should have won more often than he has. His rider famously won the John Smith's People Race at Aintree so should not be unduly troubled by the big occasion here. Orchard King is still a maiden but he has been campaigned off much higher marks in the past. Kidithou represents a yard that have had winners in the past week and appears best of the rest. Solway Sunset should be up to scoring in the finale.
