Had an excellent 2020, winning 5 times, and made it 2 wins this year when landing 4-runner handicap at Doncaster last month. Creditable third at Hamilton since and return to 2m will suit.
|
Just ticking over, fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 19 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Continues to look like a horse that will benefit from more experienced handling.
|
Fair hurdler and has bettered that in this code, scoring twice already this year and far from disgraced when second to Red Force One at Ayr 17 days ago. Mark seems about right, though.
|
No room to manoeuvre from this mark and, while successful over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, he was pulled up in that sphere last time.
|
Well exposed and not really firing so far this term, so easily passed over in a race of this nature.
|
Three-time winner around 2m last year, including over C&D. Shaped as if she'd strip fitter for her reappearance at Newcastle, so may well get back on the up. Considered.
|
Last 3 wins have come on AW and, while she was a creditable second to Ben Lilly at Doncaster 20 days ago, she doesn't seem all that likely to reverse the form.
|
Has been running consistently well on AW this year but will need to pull out more if he's to make a successful turf debut in this sphere.
|
Fairly useful staying handicapper who has hit the frame on the level on AW last twice, but looks vulnerable to better-treated rivals.
|
Fairly useful Flat handicapper for Roger Charlton/John Gallagher (last ran in this sphere in 2019) and has done well for current yard over hurdles. Big player from handy mark.
|
Established as a fair handicapper and benefited no-end from the run of the race when making a winning reappearance at Lingfield (AW) 16 days ago. Small rise should be enough to stop him.

Polish (7/2), Ben Lilly (7/2), Frankenstella (4/1), Sashenka (11/2), Red Force One (7/1), Cloud Thunder (10/1), General Zoff (12/1), Raymond (16/1), Sharp Suited (18/1), Arabic Culture (33/1), Chipiron (33/1), Multellie (50/1)
POLISH has built up a solid record over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien and a mark of 76 makes him look well treated on previous Flat form for other trainers, so it's worth taking the chance that he can make a winning return to this discipline. Ben Lilly is still going the right way and strikes as a clear danger along with Red Force One.
