Solstalla is a previous course and distance winner and has won her last two. Mix Of Clover bolted up here last month but has been raised 10lb. Castel Gandolfo steps out of novice company but is on a hat-trick an shouldn’t be far away again though SOLDIER ON PARADE, who rattled up a hat-trick in juvenile contests last summer and won on the all-weather in February, may offer more value. Amy Murphy’s four-year-old had wind surgery in May and is fitted with cheekpieces here so there is a good chance he’ll improve on recent efforts.
