Verdict
Solanich can make a winning debut over Primarily, Branston Penny and Seamless. Solanich has already been gelded but the son of Inchinor would not have to be a world-beater to dispose of this opposition. Richard Hannon's charge has the assistance of Richard Hughes, and can pay to follow this winter. Primarily makes his all-weather debut after four starts on Turf and drops back to a more suitable trip on breeding. Having finished last on her Newmarket introduction, Branston Penny was second in a poor seller on her first visit here and will have to improve to figure. Seamless was fifth over the course and distance nine days ago, shaping as though he needs further already, while Depressed has had plenty of experience but already wears cheekpieces. Not an event to get too worked up about, and we return to Solanich as the answer.
