Forecasts

Solo (5/6), Excello (11/4), Straw Fan Jack (3/1)

This step back up in distance will suit SOLO, who didn't do much wrong over a trip short of his best back from a six-month absence in the Haldon Gold Cup and he is hard to oppose. Straw Fan Jack chased home Solo's stablemate Pic d'Orhy over this C&D on his reappearance and looks set to again play second fiddle to a smart Nicholls-trained chaser. French-import Excello will surely win races for his new connections but is probably biting off more than he can chew here.
