      Verdict

      SOLAR HEIGHTS won so easily over course and distance in June that she was raised 10lb. But James Tate’s filly still finished a creditable third in a higher grade contest back here last time and gets another chance in this. Lothario is upped in class after scoring at Lingfield but still looks the main danger given the poor recent form of the remainder. Liliofthelamplight has struggled since winning at Newcastle in June and Tough Remedy has to race off a 9lb higher mark back on the all-weather.
