It's over three years since WARFARE(NAP) ran at this lowly level and though he's on a long losing run he won't mind the ground and has dropped to a very winnable mark so gets the vote. John Caesar is 0-24 on Turf though was unlucky in-running here last week when narrowly beaten into third. He has to be a threat under his experienced rider while Rubis won on soft ground at Ayr in June and generally goes well in these races. Four Wishes didn't appear to stay this trip on soft ground at Doncaster but Polar Forest has managed to win nine times and has the experienced Joanna Mason on board.
