SOLVEIG'S SONG has already won three times this year, twice over this course and distance. She's picked up a penalty for last week's success but Megan Nicholls' claim takes care of most of that and she can confirm her superiority over Whip Up A Frenzy. Megalala has won 20 of his 133 races with seven of those victories coming on this track. Even at 15, he's as tough as old boots and another big run is anticipated. Master Dancer has only won once so far and has been lightly campaigned over the last two years but Tim Vaughan's grey would have a chance on past form at this level.
