Three-Year-Olds often have an advantage at this time of the season over their elders and SOLE POWER can prove the point. Edward Lynam's progressive youngster won a couple of races at Dundalk during the winter but it was his latest run behind Equiano in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket that points to his chance here. The very consistent Rain Delayed returned after a break to beat Miss Gorica by a head over 6f at Cork in April and should confirm the form as the runner-up is best over that trip as is Snaefell, who was around 5 lengths back in fifth and may struggle this season with his Group 3 penalty.
