Verdict
Following a first victory at Hexham, SOLWAY MOLLY was a close second at Carlisle. She’s gone up a further 3lb but Lisa Harrison’s mare has to go on the shortlist as she handles soft going. Joie De Vivre likes it here while Emily Wade would have a chance on her form in the spring, though she’s probably better on quicker surfaces. Callin Baton Rouge could figure if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect and Harkangel is also interesting from the foot of the weights.
