Verdict

DON LIBRE finished runner-up at Southwell when last seen at the track in November and has the strongest form if transferring it to the Polytrack. Paul Cole's colt is preferred to the temperamental Aurens, who has the ability to go close if he decides to start and doesn't try getting rid of his jockey halfway through the race. Irish import Certavi is worth noting on his first start for a new yard while Indigo Iris and Saffron Park have the look of likely improvers.
