Solway Dornal had Moon Melody and Pyjama Game behind when second to Champion Versions over course and distance earlier this month and then went one better over fences at Perth. He seems sure to give another good account here, despite racing from just out of the handicap. Mister Bricolage tries a new trip but Luctor Emergo has a chance if fully wound-up. HIGH KITE won over fences in June and is likely to be suited by this stamina test so he gets the nod today.
