Verdict

Polar Cloud is an interesting recruit to hurdling having won three times on the all-weather in 2021. San Fermin won a bumper in the same year and will almost certainly have needed his fourth at Fontwell last month. Gyenyame was third here on only his second start over hurdles but most attention will be focussed on IMPACT DU BONHEUR, who has joined the Nicholls team since winning a bumper in the French provinces.
