Verdict

Polish Pride looks attractively weighted here and can see off the threat of Fault and Fivefootnumberone, though few of this field can be written off in a typically tricky nursery. Fivefootnumberone lost his maiden tag at Haydock, beating a speedy type and has been highly tried since. Back in this grade he can go well and looks a threat. Fault won well at Windsor on debut but was a disappointment in a conditions race next time on a return visit to the track. He has had a break but may struggle to carry this weight to success. After making a winning debut on soft ground, Polish Pride was just touched off at Thirsk last time. POLISH PRIDE looks well weighted here and can lead them home.
