Verdict

Maiden handicaps are tricky but POLAM LANE (NAP) is less exposed than his rivals and has produced gradual improvement over three starts in a manner suggesting he's going to be suited by this first try at a seventh furlong. The booking of Jason Hart also indicates connections mean business. Party Rebel's best form - achieved at this track - brings her into the equation but her overall inconsistency is a concern. Sin E Shekells has taken time to show noteworthy form but was better at Thirsk last time when fourth in a large field and a repeat brings him into contention too. The consistent Water Iris should also get involved despite a rare modest effort latest.
