In depth

Verdict

SOLO MISSION has been in good form of late and can register his third career win on AW debut. The selection put in a career best effort when winning off a 6lb lower mark last time out and over the same trip today can take this with Royal Reserve the most likely to finish runner-up having filled the same position the last twice including over this trip last time. Rubensian is well handicapped on his old form and while disappointing of late can claim third with cheekpieces applied for the first time.
