Verdict
North Pole is back in maiden company after a couple of placed efforts in low-grade handicaps. He's entitled to be thereabouts again but it will be a surprise if he doesn't find at least one too good again. Ningbo Express' fourth at Nottingham was a better run and Defiant Spirit is a half-brother to a couple of winners and wouldn't need to be anything special to score on debut. But LANDAU can shrug off an absence to make a winning first appearance on Turf having been too green to do himself justice in a couple of runs on the Polytrack at the start of the year.
