Verdict

The Gordon Elliot-trained, POLYMATH could try and make all here under jockey- Bryan Cooper. Made a good fist of it from the front over this C&D two starts back and can have a few of these in trouble some way out. Scotch Beg, ½L winner, beating four rivals here, in a bumper, over 2m3f on good ground and Caerleon Kate can fill the places.
  1. Polymath
  2. Scotch Beg
  3. Caerleon Kate
