In depth
Verdict
Soller Bay has decent claims here on a close-up third at Redcar but there should be more to come from BAILEYS WARRIOR (NAP) switched to Turf and stepped up in trip. He is a half-brother to three winners and the Johnston stable has been quickly into its stride. Esticky End is tried in blinkers after a below-par run last time but seems best at Newcastle while the going may be too quick for Addosh and Space Kid doesn’t appear to be improving.
