Milton Bradley has resisted the temptation to use an apprentice's allowance and trusts SOLEMN can shrug off his welter burden. He's taken to do so as he scored by six lengths in soft ground at Sandown last time and will take some catching if allowed his own way up front again. Naabegha went close over 6f last time but Ray Of Joy was unable to follow up his win at Yarmouth off a higher mark at Kempton recently. Welsh Inlet acts on soft ground and could prove best of the rest.
