Solar Impulse is enjoying an Indian summer having won his last two, the latest in a higher grade. Tom Buckley’s claim cancels out a chunk of his penalty so he should go well again. ROYAL VILLAGE finished lame at Cartmel at the end of May but has a very solid record around here and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him in the firing-line. Hes No Trouble has joined an in-form yard since disappointing at Newbury in March but probably needs softer going, though is still preferred to the frustrating Pilbara and Townshend.
