Flat saddles with no knee rolls - any suggestions for a polo saddle?

I have been struck by the urge to start playing a bit of polo again on the side and I'm on the hunt for a suitable saddle - polo saddles not usually being fitted to the horse. I have an old Butet which is almost a racing saddle - it's very close contact and has no knee rolls but I'm a bit loath to trash it accidentally in a ride off. Equally, I don't fancy buying something brand new for the occasional 7 minute chukka.

Any suggestions?

I'd buy a proper polo saddle if I could find something nice that fitted but I'm wondering if anyone has any bright ideas that might be suitable?

Bates saddle have velcro on knee blocks and with the blocks removed are very flat... don't know if this would be the cheapest of options though!
 
have a trip over to see me and I'll take you to to Sandon Saddlery. They have hundreds of second hand saddles, some nice but most are a little ropey, there is bound to be something there. I'm only 1/2 hour from you at home.
