SOLWAY SUNSET has hit form of late and is taken to follow up on her recent course-and-distance win to score again at the expense of Arigna and Soul Angel. The selection is six pounds higher in the weights for her latest success and although she is getting on in years she is only lightly raced. She has conditions to suit once again and if able to recapture her recent form she will take all the beating. Arigna has not been seen for a while but has proven form over in his native Ireland to warrant respect. He loves testing conditions and has proven in the past that he goes well when fresh so should be monitored in the betting market. Soul Angel has respectable form top his name and although he has yet to get his head in front to date he has been knocking at the door in similar races of late and is sure to be in the shake up once again given a clear round.
