Battleranger was a disappointing fourth at Hamilton last time and Scarlet Bounty was beaten four lengths when expected to do better at Nottingham. POLARISATION never threatened the winner when third on his latest start but that was in much better company than this at York. He gets the nod to come good today with Aprovado perhaps best of the rest.
