The improving POLYGRAM has solid form in the book and can make her experience count to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Once-raced pair Travel Agent and Elarak look open to significant improvement following their promising debuts and worth a second look, whilst newcomer Headmaster has an appealing pedigree and isn't one to overlook for the Haggas team.
