        Verdict

        POLAR VENTURE was sent off favourite for his racecourse debut at Wolverhampton. He found a couple too good on that occasion but normal progress should see him off the mark in a poor maiden. Summer Sun, King's Future and Christopher Chua have all been placed on the Polytrack but look pretty exposed now and the lightly-raced pair Flumps and Outside Art could prove bigger threats. The remainder have shown little so far and make no appeal.
