      Verdict

      Politics was caught in the closing stages at Lingfield last time and had the measure of Full Intention when scoring at the same track last month. But GORAK finished second at Southwell in first-time cheekpieces looking to exploit a slide down the weights and may prove the one to side with. Boafo Boy won at Newcastle before beaten over a longer trip here while Got No Dollars scored over 6f at last year’s meeting and is back on a winning mark.
