Verdict
Loraine looks to be improving and was a close fourth over this trip at Kempton two runs ago when Secretori and Sutton Sid were behind. Solvanna has gone close on a few occasions but has now had 15 attempts to get off the mark while Eyeline has been waiting even longer for a first success and may struggle to overturn last month's course and distance running with NOOR AL HAYA. The latter never figured at Kempton next time but should do better back on Turf and Daniel Muscutt's claim is a major plus.
