Verdict
Show Of Force won a novices' event at Chepstow in August though both placed horses have been beaten since. Trogon finished ahead of Galactic when only fifth in a higher grade handicap at Lingfield while Show Princess was third over 7f at Carlisle last month. POLAR LIGHT made her handicap bow over 6f here when failing to threaten but has plenty of stamina in her pedigree and this longer trip should see David Elsworth’s filly in a much better light. Ruysch is another likely to improve along with handicap debutante Pelice.
