In depth
Formwatch
Soloism has won two chases this season and looks to be the most reliable of those on show here and can complete a quick double for trainer/jockey combination. Vincent Van Gogh is falling down the handicap but he fell down last time out and can not be relied upon here in this big field. Breteche returns from a long absence and could be refreshed.
