Polly's Pursuit produced a better performance at Doncaster last time having needed the run when well beaten at Taunton in December. She has a few more options now she’s shown she handles soft going but there should be more to come from the less-exposed KALAHARI QUEEN (NAP) now she’s upped in trip. She was winning over 3m between the flags at this time last year so recent runs over 2m at Lingfield and Catterick have been commendable efforts. Lamanver Odyssey has to be a danger eased in grade but Whatsthatallabout and Rejaah showed little in their comeback runs. Bee Crossing will need more if she’s to break her duck under Rules.
