Verdict
The experience of Officer Drivel and Libeccio should be useful on today's going but the former finished behind Very Intense on better terms at Doncaster last time. Daydreamer won twice on the Polytrack as a three-year-old but RACE TO GLORY will also know his job. He was a tad disappointing on the level but this might be his game and he isn't highly tried on his jumping debut. What A Scorcher was placed on the Flat and it would be no surprise to see her in the thick of the action as well.
