Verdict

On just his fourth start for this trainer, RIGHTDOWNTHEMIDDLE delivered a much improved and notable performance at Aintree earlier this month. He proved no match for a strong winner there but was much the best of the rest and is weighted to go well in this field. If he reproduces that run, he should be in the firing line when it matters most. Polidam is a newcomer to this country and commands instant respect given connections, pitched straight into a handicap any money for him will be well worth heeding. Last year's winner Irish Cavalier shouldn't be discounted from a return to form while Jetstream Jack is another worth of shortlisting.
