Race preview
SOLDIER OF LOVE has got his act together over fences this summer and made it a hat-trick with a victory by the best part of eight lengths over course and distance last time. These staying distances and good ground bring the best out of the seven-year-old and the manner of that most recent success suggests an 11lb rise is well within his range. Coole Cody impressed when running out a 10-length winner over 2m5f here and could have more to come up in trip, while Follow The Bear and Monbeg Theatre are respected on their returns to the track.
