Polling Day won both starts back in 2021 but is conceding plenty of weight to the three-year-olds on his debut for a new yard having been gelded since last in action. Hosanna Power returned to action with a second at Pontefract in September and is upped in trip but INDEMNITY finished runner-up to a winner rated 82 at Newcastle having gone close over track and trip before that and Roger Varian’s yard is in fine form. Popcorn Magic looks best of the newcomers.
