      Verdict

      Polished makes a quick return to the racecourse and looks set to make it two wins in a row, Frambo and Spectacular Hope look the main rivals. Richard Guest's six-year-old has to hump 12 stone 4 pounds this evening, although his capable rider does claim seven, but he still looks well treated against this opposition. He absolutely slaughtered his rivals at Hexham on Saturday and in this mood is very hard to oppose. Frambo landed a similar event to this at Hereford last September and should improve on a recent effort at Worcester. The same applies to Spectacular Hope, a winner at this grade at Exeter last year, who was well beaten on his only outing this season at Worcester last month. Ginger McCain's Twist N Turn looks best of the others, but Polished should shine against this opposition.
