Though well beaten, course and distance winner SOLSTALLA ran well enough when second at Stratford to suggest she should be prominent in a race like this. Dawn Trouper’s run on the Flat four weeks ago should have blown away a few cobwebs while Southwell runner-up Lilypad must be a threat to all with her stable in cracking form. Rocket Ronnie lacks match practice but the 10-year-old would also have a chance on the pick of his form at this level.
