      In depth

      Verdict

      Covert Mission has won four times on Poltyrack including here and is just 1lb higher than his last success though his rider claimed 7lb that day. Lenny's Spirit won three times last year and was running better than form figures suggest in the autumn while Ower Starlight gained his third Polytrack success at Kempton a month ago and has only been raised 3lb. However, he could only finish fourth behind HUL AH BAH LOO when the latter gained his only success to date here in February and the winner can confirm the form.
