Verdict
Jackie's Solitaire usually takes on better opposition than this and could be well treated but Bob Ford is hard to catch right and Copper Birch has become unreliable. Phone Home likes the soft and is on a fair mark but Todareistodo couldn't manage a win off lower marks at the start of the year and is 13lb higher than for his last victory. TOKYO JAVELIX shot up the weights last season after winning three times but took a real shine to this track and Sam Twiston-Davies has a good record on the gelding. If fully wound up, he can rack up victory number three here.
