Soloist scored over track and trip before fading close home at Hamilton last time and can figure again. Sashenka wasn’t beaten far when upped to today’s distance at Kempton while First Dance has been thereabouts here recently and Sulafaat went close here a week ago having won at Ripon before that. But SWEET CELEBRATION has the most scope of these and having placed in a novices' race on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton last month, Marco Botti’s filly may prove good enough.
