SOLAR SKY looks capable of landing a quick double for Henry Cecil here. A half-brother to his yard's Oaks winner Love Divine, he finished a promising second to stable companion World Domination at Newbury on his debut and this extra furlong should see him safely off the mark. Sunday Bess faced a tough task in the Cheshire Oaks at Chester on her return to action but looks the main threat to the selection on this more suitable track, while Indochina is capable of better after a disappointing reappearance. Nuzool will appreciate this greater test of stamina, but the remainder look up against it in this company.
