HARD SOLUTION is still improving judged on a recent victory at Redcar, his third win of the year. An apprentice’s allowance negates most of a 4lb rise and David O’Meara’s charge can go close again. Landing Night can race off the same mark as when winning at Catterick last month but Knockabout Queen is 9lb higher than when successful at Bath earlier. Shepherd's Purse was beaten less than a length at Newcastle last time and is preferred to Major Blue and Glamorous Rocket.
