Formscan - Wins at Uttoxeter and Market Rasen suggest Heart Over Head might still be ahead of the handicapper, even after another 7lb rise, but this is competitive and a chance is taken on SOLAR SYSTEM. The seven-year-old is on a workable mark based on the pick of his form and he could bounce back here. Crazierthandaisy is worth a second look, as is Walden, while it would be dangerous to rule out both Top Guy and Kalium.
