Polydream is another likely short-priced favourite on today’s card and deservedly so having won a Group 1 contest at Deauville in August when beating James Garfield with Inns Of Court further behind. She had earlier beaten Jimmy Two Times over track and trip and must go close but a sporting punt is taken on TEPPAL. Below par in the Coronation Stakes at Ascot in June, she’s been rested since but looks a big price if forgiven that run as David Simcock’s filly won the French 1000 Guineas here on her seasonal debut with Polydream well beaten. Sir Dancealot is another to consider despite struggling in heavy going dropped back to 6f for a Group 1 sprint at Haydock last time. He’d earlier won both the Lennox and Hungerford Stakes over today’s trip and beat the likes of Gustav Klimt, Karar, Dutch Connection and So Beloved in the process. One Master won a Group 3 at the Curragh for the Haggas yard last time and Tornibush scored at the same level over track and trip last month with four of these behind.
