In depth
Verdict
Ruler Of All has been thereabouts in this grade of late but is closely matched with Knight In Purple and Sud Pacifique on Wetherby running last month. Baccalaureate's hat-trick bid may be thwarted by a 13lb weight rise but there are possibilities about Scoglio and Flaming Arrow, who have both been in action on the Flat lately. SOLARAS EXHIBTION has also had a run on the level since being pulled up at Cheltenham and Tim Vaughan's charge is now just a pound higher than when beating Caravel in a better race at Ffos Las a year ago. He could be a bit of value at the likely odds, though recent course and distance second Thegaygardener is respected as he'll strip fitter today.
