Sulochana included a victory this race in last year’s double but returns to action 4lb higher than when last successful. He finished behind runner-up Flying Standard here subsequently but EAGLE ONE was only beaten a neck at the same August fixture and has been in good form on the all-weather over the winter - Ron Harris’ charge gets the nod on that form. Mr Tambourine Man has yet to figure on the Flat but scored over hurdles recently and Lunar Shadow as a shout as he steps up in distance.
