SOUND ADVICE carries a penalty for last week's four-length victory at Newcastle but looks capable of going in again in this company. Never Forever also scored at Newcastle on his return to action but this is tougher and Coral Sands looks a bigger threat on his recent win over course and distance in soft ground. It was testing going when Ingleby Angel won at Ayr last season and he's 6lb higher today while High Resolution needs plenty of cut to show his best. Dakota Canyon makes more appeal with Cono Zur best of the rest.
