Soldier strikes in the Sun at Roscommon The 9/4 favourite Sun Soldier built on his seasonal debut fifth at the Curragh last month to land the www.roscommonracecourse.ie Handicap in the hands of Billy Lee.  The blinkered son of Soldier's Call, sat second in a steadily-run affair and hit the front two furlongs out, before being ridden out to beat Earls by two and a-half lengths.  Winning trainer Andy Oliver said "He probably needed the run the first time. He’s a consistent horse and always tends to show up. “He had a nice run first time. Credit to them today, it’s beautiful ground, and Billy kept it very straightforward. He did it nicely and it worked out ideal. “He had a nice draw and was in a nice position the whole way around." Additional reporting by Gary Carson
