A low-key finale in which Soramond bids to follow up a victory at Leicester when making his handicap debut. He only beat Tiger Zone a head, however, and that pair are handicapped to dead-heat today. DEREK LE GRAND was fifth in that race, staying on in the closing stages. He been dropped 2lb since and could reverse the form on this slower surface. Molinari has been gradually improving on Polytrack but Utopian Lad probably has the stronger overall form, though has proved frustrating to follow.
