Solomon (1/5), Minstrel Knight (9/2), What A Night (11/1), Calculate (25/1), Nashid (100/1), Blackintime (200/1), Amico Amore (250/1)

SOLOMON was only narrowly denied in what looked quite a good course novice on his recent 7f debut and is impossible to oppose. Minstrel Knight is the obvious to one to chase him home, although it will be interesting to see what the betting makes of the David Evans newcomer What A Night with Hollie Doyle up.
