In depth
Verdict
Viva Vettori looks flattered by his current mark of 87 given he's raced just the once since 2011 when well beaten in a claimer at Wolverhampton last year. Polar Kite ran well for third on the all-weather at Deauville last time behind Paul Cole's Silverheels and has every chance, though has to give 3lb to SEEK THE FAIR LAND. The latter can make the most of his slight advantage as he won a similar event over 7f at Lingfield last month. The remaining trio have little chance on today's terms and are easily overlooked.
