Verdict
A competitive handicap to close the card and we will side with SOLICITUDE to get the better of Norcroft, The City Kid and Jojesse. The selection is in decent form and she wasn't beaten far behind Blue Charm over this course and distance last time. She is back on a fair mark and she looks the percentage call in a race where many have chances. Norcroft is closely-matched with The City Kid on a run here last month. The former is a tough sort but he is arguably better over 6f, while the latter is back on a winning mark and he is certainly not one to dismiss lightly. Jojesse is running well but he looks to have plenty on to win this off his current mark and a place looks his best hope. Hamaasy went close last time but this trip stretches his stamina and he looks opposable. An open finale which can go the way of Solicitude.
