Trojan Soldier
Improved for a step up in trip and then cheekpieces, getting off the mark at Southwell (1m6f) last month and following up at Ripon on Sunday (2m, good); escapes a penalty for that win and today's further rise in distance could spark additional progress; possible he could do with the ground drying out a bit but he's on the up and should make a bold bid to complete his hat-trick.

From the connections
“Trojan Soldier takes a lot of stoking up and beforehand I spoke to his regular rider Jack Garritty, who said don't be afraid to kick on with three or furlongs to go as he takes a while to get into top gear. Once I found myself in that pocket on the rail, I knew I wasn't going to get out, so I had to hope the gap came. When it did, he was very brave to go into it as it wasn't that big, and he hit the line strongly - Jack Nicholls, jockey, speaking to Sky Sports Racing.”
