Verdict
Polar Forest bids for a hat-trick off a 7lb higher mark but should still be in the mix. Carragold won at Beverley in June but hasn't raced since while Stybba steps up in trip after a third at Brighton. Mash Potato went close to catching the in-form Gift Of Silence at Doncaster but THE DUCKING STOOL was giving the latter plenty of weight when runner-up at Haydock earlier and gets the nod on collateral form. Daydreamer may prove best of the rest.
