INVINCIBLE SOLDIER ran out of steam in the closing stages upped to 1m4f here last time. Successful over track and trip before that, Clive Cox’ charge gets another chance. Billy Roberts won at Beverley last month and can race off a lower mark on this surface having yet to score on the all-weather while Le Bayou has only won once in 25 attempts and that was also at Beverley during the summer. Trusty Scout has been running well in plating races and has switched yards while Janie Jones has more scope than most.
