SOLEMN had been threatening a return to winning ways before a below par effort at Southwell. He gets the vote to come good back on the Polytrack. Give Us A Belle is upped a further 6lb after completing a double over track and trip in December and has the beating of Master Of Disguise and Your Gifted on collateral form. Passionada was a big disappointment when favourite here last month having scored off only a 2lb lower mark over course and distance before that while New Decade won over 6f at this track last time but has yet to score over the minimum trip. Lady Poppy will take advantage of her continued slide down the weights before long and is worth noting in the betting.
