Verdict

OAKS SOLDIER shaped better than the result when fourth around 2m here a fortnight ago and he gets the verdict with the longer trip likely to suit. Lough Nigara is running consistently well at present and should be in the mix again, whilst Bergamasquo rates as a likely improver on handicap bow.
