SOLITARY TREES will likely be raised by more than today’s penalty having landed the odds at Kempton last week with the minimum of fuss and the hat-trick beckons for George Boughey’s charge. Slippin Jimmy went close over 6f here last time and Zakram has been thereabouts over a mile while Beach Breeze finished runner-up at Haydock. Texas Boy has switched yards having placed in a claimer at Fairyhouse while Do It For Love makes her handicap debut and may improve.
