Ormesher‘s debut second at this track came over 6f but he’s stoutly-bred and should appreciate this longer trip while Voice of The North was doing his best work at the finish when fourth over 7f at Epsom and can also figure. But SOLDIER TO FOLLOW was beaten only a neck over today’s trip at Windsor on his introduction and Andrew Balding’s colt gets the nod on that form given the third has subsequently won. Dubai Empire has faced difficult tasks in novice races at York and could also get involved.
