POLLANASSA is on an appealing mark and made a positive start for his new yard when fifth at Navan 11 days ago, so he's worth taking a chance on in a race where the majority are struggling for form. Wrist Art shaped quite well when third at Naas last time, so he's considered a threat along with Miss Langmore.
