Race preview
SOLAR HEAT was a whopping 11 lengths clear of his rivals when scoring over course and distance last time and despite a 12lb hike in the ratings, which leaves him conceding weight all round here, he is backed to land a hat-trick on the Flat, having scored over 12 furlongs at Dundalk back in May. Greengage was staying on well when third at Killarney latest and could have more to come now up in trip with Colin Keane back in the saddle, while Randalls Ur Poet has been running well over hurdles of late and would have a great chance if transferring that form to the level.
