JACKIES SOLITAIRE was sent off favourite at Plumpton on Monday but was never in contention. She had ran well here before that and gets a chance to make amends and prove her latest running all wrong. Lamb's Cross ran well enough at Ffos Las on his return but has just the one win in 17 starts over fences and course winner Islandmagee makes more appeal if back to his best after a poor effort at Worcester. Awbeg Massini was tailed off on his chasing bow and is best watched for now.
