In depth

Verdict

Whipless comes out best at the weights on official ratings but ran a lifeless race here a week ago. Hairstyle showed potential for Sir Michael Stoute last year and a change of scenery could be just what's required. Solo Performer was superbly ridden by jump jockey Andrew Lynch to score over a slightly shorter trip three weeks ago and won over the trip in December. He is in great heart but FLAVIA TATIANA could have his measure this time as she got no sort of run in that race last month and, though only 1lb better off, can reverse the form and take this.
