Sonjadorn had just over a length to spare over Jubilate in the race won by Brigade over 1m2f here earlier in the month with Soul Surfer, Stunning Guest and Tiger Tank further behind. Michael Roberts’ gelding is one for the shortlist in this and Noble Flight has similar claims and holds Straight Shooter, Jumping Castle and Uptown Funk on the form book. Paul Lafferty’s charge was more than five lengths behind ALL TIME HIGH (NAP) over 1m4f last month, however, and Glen Kotzen’s runner should be capable of going one better today.
