Impossible to rule out any of these but preference is for POLITACUS, who produced a performance more in keeping with her fairly useful bumper form when getting off the mark at Huntingdon last month and a 7 lb rise may not be enough to stop her from following up (runner-up that day a wide-margin winner since). Mistral Milly is open to improvement now handicapping, so she can chase the selection home, ahead of Queshi Bridge.
