An easy winner of a similar race at Stratford last month, SOLEGLAD has travelled over from Ireland again and may be capable of defying his penalty. Strong Team is already starting to look exposed but Lookforarainbow looks to be improving with experience. First Destination is out of a mare that generally produces sprinters but he’s by Rail Link, who gets middle-distance winners, so is worth a market check.
