Pole Star

8st 9lb

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Charlie Johnston

Unraced here except in a maiden (fourth of six); three wins in last year's 3yo campaign (good/soft) but none this season; his form has gone the wrong way and, even though a reduced mark has helped him to some minor honours lately, others have more pressing claims.

8st 10lb

J: Hector Crouch

T: Charlie Johnston

Three wins in last year's 3yo campaign (good/soft), two of them here (1m4f/1m6f); his form has gone the wrong way this season but he hasn't run badly off a reduced mark on his last two outings and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces and/or the return to Haydock will elicit a bigger effort today.

10st 2lb

J: Jason Hart

T: Charlie Johnston

Two disappointing runs before a much more competitive show, still below form, when fifth of ten off this reduced mark in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot eight days ago; still needs to perk up somewhat but this is a drop back in class.

9st 0lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Charlie Johnston

The initial positive reaction to a visor soon wore thin and he beat only one home at Newmarket last time (1m6f) with no headgear (as today); has dropped to a dangerous mark but with some major questions to answer.

Pole Star

8st 9lb

J: Connor Beasley

T: Charlie Johnston

Respectable third to Goblet Of Fire on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) in May in a first-time visor; perhaps any beneficial effect from the headgear has worn off, as he ran poorly on latest start, but he is now 1lb below his last winning mark (from last July) and the visor is removed.
