Verdict
Hard Solution has now won two of his last three outings, including a course and distance success, but is penalised for last week’s win at Ripon. Dark Side Dream was only beaten a length the last time he raced over track and trip but WADE’S MAGIC won by a cosy couple of lengths over course and distance more recently and should go close again despite a rise in the weights. Capla Spirit’s earlier win came at Southwell though this is easier than his latest task at Newcastle.
