Betway Solario Stakes (Group 3)

Off time: 14:06 | Winning time: 1m 31.58s

Atheby⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Mitchell| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

100/1

Cheap purchase from the Breeze-Ups and, while he showed a bit when third in a Chelmsford maiden 9 days ago, he looks way out of his depth in this.

Form: 3

(4)

Austrian Theory²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 104| D

18/1

Overcame greenness to make a winning start at Doncaster and improved from that at the second attempt when third under positive tactics in the Vintage Stakes. Dangerous if allowed to dictate.

Form: 163

(6)

Great Max⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 96| D

15/2

Had a bit in hand when making a winning debut in a Newbury novice but has come up short in better company since, only fifth in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket last time. Looks vulnerable again.

Form: 135

(5)

Reach For The Moon³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 103| D

2/5

Well-bred colt who was runner-up in the Chesham, then had little trouble landing short odds in a novice at Newbury last month. Has the best form with potential for better, so looks an obvious choice.

Form: 221

(7)

Rerouting¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M O'Callaghan| D

18/1

Speedily bred gelding who caused a shock when landing a Gowran maiden 10 days ago. Notable that shrewd connections have made the trip, so chance can't be completely ignored.

Form: 1

(1)

Star From Afarhh³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| D

6/1

Farhh filly who arrives on the back of a workmanlike debut success in a 5-runner novice at Newmarket last month. That race has already produced two subsequent winners, so improvement is expected.

Form: 1

Non-Runners

Cresta¹³

Weight: 9-1| Age: 2

T: M Meade J: R Kingscote

Forecasts

Reach For The Moon (2/5), Star From Afarhh (6/1), Great Max (15/2), Cresta (12/1), Rerouting (18/1), Austrian Theory (18/1), Atheby (100/1)

REACH FOR THE MOON's second in the Chesham on his penultimate outing is comfortably the best piece of form on show and it's unlikely that this son of Sea The Stars has reached his limit, so he's well fancied to make the breakthrough at this level before moving on to bigger things. Austrian Theory, who should cut out the running, looks the chief threat ahead of Star From Afarhh.
