Race preview
An open-looking contest in which a credible case could be made out for quite a few, including Despoina who went close over C&D off a higher mark last autumn. Splash of Verve and Oliver's Betty were both arguably unlucky last time and have to be considered but any value here may lie with the lightly-raced POLAR CLOUD who caught the eye in defeat when quietly-fancied to win a better race over this trip at Windsor last time out, having shaped encouragingly here previously.
