    Verdict

    Solighoster has yet to finish out of the first two under Rules and has also won a point-to-point. However, he was easily put in his place at Plumpton last month. Anchor Man has been quite highly tried since winning at Exeter in November but his latest run at Market Rasen in February was still a disappointing effort. Despite still showing signs of inexperience, THUMB STONE BLUES could not have been more impressive when beating the odds-on Boagrius at Doncaster. He looks a chaser in the making but can takes this unless San Satiro steps up markedly on his fourth at Fontwell.
