Verdict
Several of these are eased in grade with Polyphony arguably the pick, though there is no guarantee that John Mackie’s mare will stay this longer trip as she tends to race keenly. Gaia Boni has already won on Wimpole Hall this season while Starfighter and Howzer Black go on the short-list. MR COCO BEAN, along with Mac Ailey, were both behind the latter here last time but David Barron’s charge could profit from the likely strong pace in this and reverse the form. Little India is also partnered by one of the more experienced apprentices.
