        Verdict

        A useful performer on the flat Polish Spirit, has yet to translate that to hurdling and is easily passed over. Fifth Generation enjoyed a fruitful time last season and while he will be at home in the conditions, he still looks a little high in the handicap. Russian Court could be the one. A winner off 76 last year, he is only two pounds higher now and should be able to take advantage.
