Verdict
Invincible Soldier is improving and came good upped to this trip at Salisbury. He steps up a grade for this but has to go on the shortlist. However, Yarmouth winner MUSTAZEED (NAP) would be entitled to start favourite on his latest third in a Class 4 at Sandown where he missed the break and then met interference. There is stamina on the dam’s side of Time Interval’s pedigree so Roger Charlton’s gelding might be the pick of the remainder ahead of Arthur's Angel.
