George Boughey runs two in this. Highland Mac is less exposed than Solitary Trees but the latter may be the stable pick despite failing to justify market support at Catterick last Saturday. SMILE AND PAY produced an improved performance over 7f at Newcastle and is probably the one to beat if the headgear combination works a second time. Lincoln Rockstar is only making slow progress but the switch to handicaps should see the Johnstons’ filly in a better light.
