In depth
Verdict
Eilean Mor found only Call Of Duty, entered in the previous race, too good here last time when Snooker finished back in fifth. Mister Bob has a chance off his current mark but POLAR FOREST looks the one to beat. He scored easily over a mile at Newcastle on Tuesday and can defy a penalty in this modest company. Uncle Brit has yet win over further than a mile and it's even harder to make a case for any of the remainder given their current poor form.
