Verdict

Solo Saxophone has been hurdling since successful at Newmarket in October while Author's Dream won over a longer trip here before struggling at Wolverhampton. Sophosc and Just In Time step up in trip and class while KING’S ADVICE was gelded at the end of last year and showed signs of a resurgence when second over 2m at Kempton recently. He looks capable of winning off his current mark having tumbled down the weights since last successful. The veteran Cayirli is also back on a winning mark having undergone a wind operation.
