    In depth

    Verdict

    Polisky has a shout for the Nicholls yard if at his best on his return to action. But SOLSTICE SON has the benefit of a run under his belt with a second at Fontwell and he can go one better here off a similar mark. Best Boy Barney is hard to write off despite a below par run last time given he's won four of his last six outings but the remainder are harder to fancy. It's A Steal has shown ability over hurdles but that was back in 2012 and he makes his chasing debut on his return.
