Verdict
Having made light work of a mark of 72 at Newcastle, SELENIC could have plenty more to offer. As a half-sister to the smart Pita Pinta - a winner over 1m4f - it seems safe to assume Sir Mark Prescott's filly can continue to flourish over middle distances. Solarize faced a stiffer test when his hat-trick bid hit the buffers at Southwell, although he must be feared dropping down a couple of grades. Criminal and Son Of Man complete the shortlist.
Expert View Verdict
This can go to SOLARIZE who looked a horse firmly on the rise when winning at Chelmsford and Wolverhampton in the autumn. His last run, when running well below his capabilities at Southwell, was too bad to be true and he returns from 82 days off from what remains a competitive mark. Selenic has won two of her last three starts, bouncing back from a disappointing handicap debut at Southwell with a win at Newcastle last time. She surely has more to offer from a mark of 78. Golden Circet is another of strong interest after a pleasing return to the Flat over C&D last time.
