Verdict

POLITOLOGUE was a revelation last season winning two Grade Two's and two Grade One's and having bowed out with a 2m4f win this previous C&D winner is now going up in trip this term having primarily raced over 2m last term. He must give weight away throughout with his penalties but Paul Nicholls' stable star just has too much class for these rivals and is expected to win easily. Benatar, a smart C&D Grade Two winning novice is the biggest danger with Charbel the other with some hope of giving the selection a race.
