Sincerity is fitted with headgear after placing at Newcastle while Let Rip went close over 1m3f here on his penultimate start. But FRENCH POLISH is expected to improve further on her handicap debut having posted a better effort here last time and she gets the nod in an open contest. Something looked amiss with Kesarina at Wolverhampton last month while Pearl Beach is raised in class having returned a beaten favourite at Lingfield. Arctic Sea and Tralee Hills are not badly treated on earlier winning form while course and distance winner Ravens Ark drops back down in class.
