Verdict

Polish Emperor is selected to add to his recent victory here, with Treasure Cay, Jilly Why and Magic Glade three main dangers. Anybody who witnessed Polish Emperor making all here recently will want to be on him again to confirm the form over Jilly Why, although the latter is sure to make a race of it on these terms. Treasure Cay has yet to race here but had winning Polytrack form on his Lingfield debut last December. However, he has been off the track since August and may be best watched on his return. Magic Glade has not been lasting out in his recent races and just needs to come down a few pounds in the weights, but has past winning form on an artificial surface, while Turibius was not beaten far at Lingfield on his latest outing. Global Achiever will benefit from the drop in trip judged on a good effort here recently and you can never rule out Paddywack who can come flying from off the pace on a good day. For the winner we return to Polish Emperor.
