Plenty of these come here off the back of decent efforts, but they could all be playing for the places if POLARBROOK can repeat last week's Southwell win. The fact he's such an infrequent winner is a concern, but he kept his form the last time he found it, and there's no reason to think that, under similar conditions to last week, he won't run his race. Overtoyoujay is another that brings solid form to the table and he can claim second ahead of Buckontupence , out to gain some compensation for his unlucky unseat last time, and Samson. Alameda is worthy of consideration if a big price.
