Verdict
POLISH has been hurdling since scoring over 2m at Goodwood in October. Only 2lb higher for this, he gets the vote. Yagood has placed on the all-weather since winning at Nottingham last summer and could go well but Mount Olympus has only won a novices' race over 1m6f so far. Sweet Dime posted a better effort when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently while the unexposed Tendentious steps up in trip.
