Tizloveregardless completed a Polytrack hat-trick earlier this year before a very poor run at Leicester in April and has a long absence to overcome. Meteoroid disappointed at Wolverhampton last week but that was his first start for four months and he should go well as should Argaki, who generally performs with credit at this level. Hedge End has won three times on Polytrack and has been competing at a slightly higher level. She looks reasonably treated and Cam Hardie's claim should ensure she puts in a big effort. COSMIC HALO (NAP) won a York handicap last month and her close third to Donny Rover at Nottingham was in a better race than this so she should be good enough to get back to winning ways.
