Verdict
A gelding operation seems to have worked the oracle for POLYPHONIC and he romped home by eight lengths at Carlisle last week. Due to be raised 10lb in the future, he looked to have a favourite's chance at Haydock yesterday and could turn out again here. Flylikeaneagle missed out on a hat-trick last time and steps up in trip while Baltic Baron placed over course and distance recently and Fearless Bay can figure back over this shorter trip. Out Of Sight and Raiff return to action with a chance on last year’s best form.
