GOING:

VOLUNTEERS OF YORK RACING HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Solar Chant heading them off. SESH (5) has raced at Ascot at all three this time in. Better placed here and steps up to the slightly longer journey now. Drawn to stalk a hot pace and expected to find best. SOLAR CHANT (3) is the one they have to catch. Led throughout at Ascot last time to score the main with ease, and can only be fitter. Has upside. Will go forward and take beating again. RODNEY OH RODNEY (2) will also be there perhaps even outside her. Has the pace to go forward and likely will have to from a wide gate. Form is good for this and should be in the finish. SOMETHING ROYAL (4) turned in a better than last run and worth another chance. CAWARRA (7) wasn't far away in a recent trial and can run well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sesh can find some form.
