In depth
Verdict
Han Solo Berger was only beaten a nose over track and trip last week but has been raised 2lb. SOUL SEEKER has gone up 4lb for beating a big field at York last week but may be worth following now he’s got his head back in front and is preferred to Straits Of Moyle, who has been knocking on the door lately, and Mary Of Modena, who may have just needed the run at Sandown nine days ago.
