Verdict
This is little better than a seller and Bernard Llewellyn will be hoping for big runs from the top two, Taste The Wine and Sweet World. He also used to train Drummond, who was second for Katie Stephens at Stratford last month but was behind both Sweet World and Tenby Jewel at Newton Abbot in September. SOLSTICE STAR is a very tentative selection but 3m was too far at Uttoxeter last time and he'd have every chance on an earlier fourth at the same course in June.
