Verdict

Invincible Soldier wasn’t given a hard time on debut at Sandown but has a lot to find with runner-up The Kodi Kid on that form. Say It As It Is was third at Windsor after finishing second in a seller at Newmarket but this can go to GRAND SCHEME, who took a big step forward from his first run when staying on strongly into second over this trip at Goodwood.
