SOLEMN has jumped up the weights this season winning four times in the process and he is taken to add to that winning tally at the expense of Realt Na Mara and Kyllachy Storm. The selection failed to show a great deal in the first two seasons of his career while trainer Milton Bradley was going through the doldrums. This season however has seen both the horse and the trainer come back to life. He was well handicapped at the start of the season and took advantage of that. He is now 17lbs higher in the weights but with the Milton Bradley¿s horses back to their best he could improve and is worth staying on the right side of. Realt Na Mara won back-to-back races at Southwell and Carlisle but disappointed badly when sent off a short priced favourite at Catterick last time out and improvement will be required. Kyllachy Storm has kept improving with age. He won back-to-back races in May and although winless since, he has run well in defeat. Trainer Ron Hodges does well at his local track so he warrants plenty of respect. Solemn can continue to improve and looks the percentage call.
