Kipchak will appreciate the return to today's trip having won over 7f at Folkestone last month, but POLEMICA makes more appeal. She's won twice over the C&D and had Army Of Stars behind when runner-up here on her penultimate start. Frank Sheridan's mare can go one better today with another dual track and trip winner Piccolo Express still looking a shade high in the weights. Meydan Style remains 6lb higher than his win here in June, but Avalon Bay showed a bit more last time having slipped down the weights.
