Verdict
Solent Ridge is selected here ahead of Gross Prophet and Heart Of Dubai. Chepstow winner Solent Ridge is rated 81 following that success, compared with the 74 that Gross Prophet has achieved following a Wolverhampton maiden success. The latter receives two pounds today and both hold solid chances. The Clive Brittain-trained Heart Of Dubai rates as an interesting newcomer, while Bigalo's Magic wasn't beaten far when ninth on his Newmarket debut. Finally, Dorso Rossi would be hard to fancy but Izzibizzi's Folkestone second last time entitles him to respect. The selection, though, is Solent Ridge.
