Verdict
Crimewave has proved best on Polytrack so far and HARLOW could be some value in a wide-open handicap. A winner here in November, he failed to get a run when fifth last month and has been dropped a pound since. Cityzen Serg had every chance when on a hat-trick here last week and may be a few pounds too high now but Toronado Queen keeps knocking on the door and Howzer Black has run well at Southwell since scoring over a longer trip here last month. Daafr is fairly consistent with Gold Ribbon preferred to Light Up Our Stars of the remainder.
