Polstar might not have beaten much at Doncaster last time and is 7lb higher now, meaning third Danby's Legend is 8lb better off. Ben Cee Pee M returns following a break but Broctune Papa Gio should reverse course and distance running in November with Amir Pasha, though ran a shocker at Newcastle earlier this month. Indepub has won over track and trip and is potentially well treated but has shown nothing this season. COPT HILL has only one career victory to his name but it came over this course and distance and he's has been doing a little better lately. There is no reason why he won't give supporters a run for their money in this.
