In depth
Verdict
Solway Dandy was making his handicap debut when a fine second to Coverholder at Wetherby and should make progress though he could have done without a 5lb rise. SOME LAD returned to form with a narrow defeat by Urban Kode over this track and trip last month and, with his rider able to claim 7lb, he can go one better. Shaker Style is running well enough but may need a drop in the weights and Momkinzain is probably better over further. Laybach has had 15 starts over timber without winning but could snatch a place from his lowly spot in the handicap.
