Triple Distilled ended the last campaign with a victory over 6f on heavy going and has changed stables. Gentle Look has been a beaten favourite on his last three starts over 1m2f and dropping back in trip could have the desired effect but Solar Heights is making his debut on Turf after battling on to get up close home at Chelmsford. CONUNDRUM improved with racing last season and wasn't beaten far at Pontefract in October. He reappeared there last month and scored over this trip on fast going so a 5lb rise may not prevent a follow up. Camber gained a surprise victory at Newcastle and is only 3lb higher so has to be on the shortlist.
