Polyphonic is penalised for winning at Fontwell on Boxing Day but another four-year-old in KANSAS DU BERLAIS is preferred. The latter ran well in Listed company in France before joining Gary Moore and has undergone wind surgery since fading in the closing stages at Sandown on his debut for new connections. Dual bumper winner I Hope Star placed in maiden company over track and trip a fortnight ago and can figure while State Legend and Kayf Legend are likely improvers.
