C&D winner POLLY'S PURSUIT ooks likely to prove hard to beat in this opening AW bumper. The selection is the most experienced runner in the field and hails from a stable with a 19% strike rate (5/27) recently and is taken to get the better of the Kempton eyecatcher Arthington while the debutant Skip can claim third on his racecourse debut for a predominantly Flat orientated stable.
