In depth
Verdict
Solstalla is 4lb better off than when beaten a couple of lengths by NORTHERN MEETING in a four-runner race here last time. But the top weight may still come out best given she lost ground at the start that day yet still won a shade cosily. Dry Ol'party has been largely disappointing but was better last time at Newton Abbot and Richard Johnson takes over the reins. The others are harder to fancy with Lets Go Dutchess stopping quickly in a maiden here last time and Buy Me Out due to run yesterday at Newton Abbot.
