        Verdict

        Race Day has a poor record on Polytrack so is easily excused his latest run at Chelmsford having won in this grade at Sandown earlier. Rebel Assault, a Listed winner last year, showed a willing attitude to get back on track at Musselburgh but is 6lb higher now. Mukalal hinted at a revival last time and a case could also be made for Flavius Titus but MOUNTAIN RESCUE is starting to slip down the weights again and has plenty in his favour today. He likes galloping courses and good ground or better so can add to his victory at Newmarket in the spring. Perfect Hustler and Dance Teacher are both upped in class and Poets Dream has just lost his way a little lately.
