Verdict
Sol Rojo won impressively last time out and can follow up this afternoon, Blue Hedges and Wait For The Will can follow him home. That success for the selection came over a much shorter trip but he had previously stayed on well over this trip to finish second to today's rival Blue Hedges. There is little change in the weights, but Sol Rojo appears to be on the upgrade and he can gain revenge. Wait For The Will was also successful over course and distance earlier this month. He was a shade disappointing at Lingfield next time but that was over a shorter trip and we could see him bounce back this afternoon. Cordage could be the pick of the outsiders, but in a tight knit handicap Sol Rojo just gets our vote.
