SOLDANELLE (8) scored by half a length in a at this track then filled a placing last time at this track. Gets some weight relief this time. William Pike sticks. Leading contender. CASHEL PALACE (2) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to just miss when second over 1m at this track. Should run on into the finish again. BATTLE COMMANDER (1) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1. 5 lengths over 1m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and four minor placings from 15 starts. Can feature again. ALL GRUNT (6) produced a better run last start at the second run of the prep, beaten 1. 4 lengths into fifth over 7f at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
