A few of these are entered in the Lincoln at the end of the month but Solar Deity isn't one of them. Ryan Moore takes over the reins today but the former is worse off with Don't Call Me on latest running here. The latter has since been well beaten by MINDUROWNBUSINESS (NAP), currently a big price for the Lincoln - expect his odds to shorten considerably if he lands this. Roger Varian's colt also beat Melvin The Grate, Santefisio and subsequent winner Halation when scoring at Lingfield and looks to have leading claims on that form. Billingsgate is another to consider having won at Kempton before an outing at Meydan in January and Pearl Nation continued his improvement with a win over course and distance last time.
