      Verdict

      POLARISATION (NAP) makes a quick reappearance having found life tough at Ascot last week after scoring over 1m6f at Haydock before that. Dropped in class, he can add to Mark Johnston's record of three wins in the last six renewals. King Of The Picts is perched at the top of the weights after a couple of placed efforts over 2m at Newcastle but Scrapper Smith is preferred on his second over track and trip in May. Rocktherunway ran well on his first start since 2013 when third at Nottingham and Spifer is preferred to Northside Prince off his current mark.
