Verdict
Milton Bradley may have to give best to Sylvester Kirk on this occasion with Glencoe Solas looking the percentage call over Bradley's four raiders. The Kirk team have been running appreciably well of late and with Frankie Dettori booked, there is a lot to like about this four-year-old. He can reverse recent form with Full Spate on their recent meeting. Full Spate will be winning soon based on that effort but his draw of ten this evening is not exactly a positive. Fly More does most of his winning over five and is on reappearance tonight. Golden Bounty could be much more of a threat under the circumstances. Richard Hannon's charge was rated in the high nineties two seasons ago and looks to be finally be getting some respite off the handicapper these days. Sewmuch Character has much ability but is incredibly frustrating for win-only punters. Glencoe Solas gets our vote in an interesting sprint.
