In depth
Verdict
A wide-open handicap rounds off the card but the principals look to be Polar Force, Danish Blues and Another Genepi and the nomination is given to Polar Force. The selection won well last time out when beating Bens Georgie and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he looks the one to be on. Danish Blues rates the main danger on his latest second behind She's Our Beauty. However he is rising in the weights for getting beat and is taken on with this in mind. Another Genepi is thrown in on his best form and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with.Of the remainder Winhill House won an apprentice race last time out when beating Dark Champion and as he escapes a penalty for that win he will not be far away but this looks tougher and with this in mind for the winner we return to Polar Force who has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
