SOLAR ACLAIM caught the eye at Epsom last week and could be set to resume winning ways. Eye of Dubai is likely to pop up again soon, while the returning El Bodon is interesting having run well in the Greenham first time up last season.

    Verdict
    Made an encouraging start for current connections when fourth behind Eye of Dubai at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November and caught the eye at Epsom last week, making big move into contention but unable to sustain effort under young claimer. One to consider from stall 1.

    Improved in the second half of last season, taking 15-runner handicap at Doncaster (6f, heavy) in November. Not seen to best effect either start this year and could figure.

    Back to winning ways at Redcar (6f) 3 weeks ago, seen to maximum effect as he made all on the far rail. Will find this tougher up 5 lb.

    Has always been rather hit-and-miss but did win at York from 2 lb higher a year ago. Below form at Newcastle (33/1) returning on what was a rare AW run and should be sharper now.

    5-time course winner, including twice last season, and did too much early on his return here last month. Down another 2 lb and could pop up again soon.

    Verdict
    Struggled last season after running a screamer in the Greenham at Newbury on his return. Fresh might be the time to catch him and he's of interest under 7 lb claimer.
