Polar Auroras won over a mile on soft ground at Warwick last time and Brendan Powell's claim takes care of a 5lb rise in the weights. But that was a first victory in 22 career starts so he can hardly be described as progressive. The four-year-old also has to give 4lb to CROESO MAWR, who looked as though her turn wasn't far away again when a neck second to Ken's Girl at Chepstow - she can race off the same mark here. Compton Target only won a claimer at Leicester two runs ago so the maiden Eightfold should prove the pick of the three-year-olds as he's already shown a liking for soft going.
