        Verdict

        Head Space went over to Dundalk for a better race than this at the start of the month and wasn't disgraced. However, his best trip is 5f while Ambitious Icarus has a poor record on the all-weather, though this will be his first try on Polytrack. Full Of Promise ran her best races on Turf when there was plenty of give, though she wasn't beaten far on Tapeta on her introduction to all-weather racing. BURAUQ beat Costa Filey here just over a year ago and won at Bath in September. He's been knocking on the door on Polytrack again lately and seems sure to be involved in the finish again.
