Verdict

Solar Park went close over the minimum trip here last month but EQUALLY FAST (NAP) wasn’t far behind in third, despite encountering trouble in-running, and the latter may come out best today with a clear run. Breath Of Spring remains 6lb higher than when scoring on the all-weather back in January while Essaka has to race off a higher mark back on Turf having finished second at Southwell but Atyaaf has slipped down the weights and finished closer at Newcastle last time.
