POL CROCAN is progressing rapidly so could be ahead of the handicapper off this opening mark, with the return to further in his favour. Bard of Brittany won in good style at Doncaster last week so is an obvious threat under a penalty, while Adicci pulled clear of the rest when runner-up at Wincanton under this rider and is only 1 lb higher here.
