Raced in 3rd, not fluent 3 out and again not fluent next, pushed along before last where slight mistake, soon no impression and kept on same pace run-in
Stratum (1/6), Soldier At War (5/1), Hammerstein (5/1), Bluegrass Princess (20/1), Martha Gail (200/1)
With no early leader in the race it may be left to Davy Russell to dictate from the start on SOLDIER AT WAR, landing the opener in the process. The Soldier Hollow gelding stayed on impressively when getting off the mark at Sligo last month and can hold off the attentions of stablemate Hammerstein and likely warm order, the Willie Mullins-trained Stratum.
