In depth
Verdict
Point-to-point winner Solaise scored on his racecourse debut at Lingfield in December but he'll do well to follow-up under a penalty up against BAHIRA. She also won on her debut last month before finishing a respectable third to Dancing Emily at Taunton and Donald McCain's filly looks the one to beat with more to come. Count Vettori failed to build on his promising third at Wetherby when well beaten last time, while Kelso winner Chickini is returning from over a year off the track. Walser's dam is related to winners over hurdles and he could prove the best of the newcomers.
