The second of the two Polytrack races could be challenged for by Sabatini who was second in a similar contest here last time out behind Calypso Star. SYRIAN was a closer second behind that same winner at Newmarket in June and although failing to show progression with a poor effort in a handicap since, he can return to winning ways against relatively poor opposition. You can draw a line through a majority of the field but Takajan who appreciates an all-weather mile could play a part in the race.
