In depth
Verdict
River Days put up a most determined display to make all over the course and distance earlier in the month and is the TEAMtalk choice ro follow up. The son of Tagula impressed with his battling attitide and a repeat performance should make him hard to catch despite a subsequent 4lb rise. Polar Haze took advantage of a drop into selling company when scoring at Southwell last time but will find this much tougher but Stand By and Nite-Owl Mate have both been knocking on the door of late and should give another good account.
