Formscan - SOLENT GATEWAY has steadily improved with each performance over timber and arrives following a decent effort when runner-up over C&D last month. The seven-year-old appears to have been presented with a golden opportunity to shed the maiden tag at the fifth time of asking. Celestial Reign was behind the selection in fourth on that occasion but the four-year-old is 5lb worse off, while the application of a tongue-tie might aid the cause of Vanilla Dancer.
