SOLID STONE looks the type to progress for this yard as he tackles this trip again. He's won on an artificial surface in the past and his mark may still underestimate his true ability when things go his way. Prejudice is a consistent sort that won't be far away off bottom weight. Red October goes well round here and is another in with a solid chance.
