Slowmo took advantage of a slide down the weights to win at Southwell but makes less appeal under a penalty. George Thomas went close at Southwell last time and could be in the mix once again but SOLAR PARK is preferred. Beaten only a neck at Chelmsford a week ago when ahead of Jorvik Prince, all three wins on the all-weather so far have come on today’s surface and Michael Attwater’s charge gets the vote. Dynamo Walt and Captain Ryan look best of the rest.
