      Verdict

      Polar Kite is facing a tougher task having landed a couple of plating races last month while Light From Mars had looked in the handicapper's grip before popping-up over track and trip a fortnight ago and may have more to offer. AL'S MEMORY failed to make it four in a row at Lingfield last time but that may have been down to the extra furlong rather than a 6lb penalty and he gets another chance back over 7f. Silverware is another with claims back over today's distance and Kakatosi is not out of this at his best.
