Polar Auroras is usually thereabouts at this level without winning and will be hoping it's 21st time lucky here. Ymir is still looking for his second victory after 31 starts while The Name Is Frank has been in better form on Turf lately but has yet to score on the all-weather. Blue Deer is back on a winning mark but out of sorts though better is expected form Wolverhampton winner Warden Bond back on this surface. JUMEIRAH LIBERTY is another non-winner but has been placed off higher marks over C&D and it might be his turn today.
