        Verdict

        A competitive handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Polished, Rising Generation, Tender Touch and Ringside Jack and the tentative vote goes to Rising Generation. The selection was a good second behind Travel last time out under similar conditions. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Polished rates the main danger he has been in good form over fences of late and returns to hurdling on a lenient mark. He is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but he may just need the run after an 85 day absence. Tender Touch is another worthy of respect, he won well last time out when defeating Chivvy Charver but that was in a seller and this looks more competitive so he is passed over on this occasion. Ringside Jack is one of the least exposed ion the field over hurdles but he was well beaten off this mark last time out and he looks in the handicappers grip. Of the remainder Diamond Joshua has traveled a long way to take his chance here so he is worth a cautionary look in there market but for the winner we return to Rising Generation.
