In depth
Verdict
Huwaideh showed promise on her debut but did not progress next time. Alexander Ridge has form enough to go close here but the step back to six furlongs is not guaranteed to suit. Weet A Mo has shown promise in two runs and cannot be ruled out. Polar Bear is quite well-bred and has shown promise in a couple of runs. He is stepping up to six furlongs after staying on well in the mud at Nottingham last time. After two runs in Ireland, Evolution Baby has found his level although he disappointed when well backed on his AW run at Southwell last time. He has place claims. Devils Teardrop makes his AW debut after a couple of fair at best efforts on his last two runs. Overall, then, Polar Bear gets the TEAMtalk vote on his AW debut.
