In depth
Verdict
A Sure Welcome won over 5f here last week and is probably even more effective over this extra furlong but does carry a small penalty. HAN SOLO BERGER has slipped to a competitive mark and was just behind Saturday’s Sandown winner Saaheq at Ascot two runs ago before being drawn on the outside in the Epsom Dash. He might be the value in this ahead of last month’s course and distance winner Indian Creak and Edraak, successful over track and trip in April. Ivatheengine is back on a winning mark but has been disappointing in both runs this term.
