        In depth

        Verdict

        Alec Stewart has his team in fine form and recent Nottingham winner Al Maali could not have been more impressive when hacking up in maiden company. The son of polar Falcon looks sure to progress and is not harshly treated for his handicap bow. Kool has been running respectably in similar company this term but may not be suited by the drop in trip but Polar Impact should go well after a creditable Haydock third last time.
