It is a long time since POLYBIUS tasted success but with a clear run at Ascot latest he would have gone seriously close to ending the barren run so off the same mark here he gets the nod with the likelihood of a clearer passage in this smaller field with the master of hold-up tactics Jamie Spencer onboard. Lady Freyja is the most feared rival and this filly who has done most of her racing over 7f and 1m relished the test of speed latest when dropped to 6f. Tan proved a revelation when switched to this yard earlier in the year and based on the evidence of his encouraging Sandown reappearance he might not be finished improving yet.
