Natures Law's likely absence may have opened the door for a return to winning ways for POLISH CROWN. Mark Johnston's filly is a model of consistency and she appeared to handle the step up to 7f at Musselburgh last time well enough. Gold Beau has been knocking on the door lately and has place claims again while Redcar winner Red Paladin wasn't disgraced off his new mark at Doncaster and is another with solid claims. Baltic Prince won at Beverley last month and Curl has shown enough to suggest she can win a small race and should be staying on better than most over this trip.
