Reputation was beaten only a neck at Chester last time and makes his all-weather debut. Polybius has slipped down the weights and showed the benefit when narrowly beaten at Yarmouth four days ago. But he last won in 2015 so ZAIN HANA is preferred. She found the competition too tough in Listed company at Pontefract last month but had won a Nottingham handicap by four lengths under Ryan Moore before that and is reunited with the latter today. Helvetian was expected to do better last time and Airshow looks high enough in the weights but Natural may do better back over 6f today.
