Bold Spirit has had plenty of chances but went close in a handicap last time while Incredible Fresh ran well at Thirsk in between a couple of distinctly modest efforts. Copperbelt and Tasaaboq showed improvement to place on their latest outings but a chance is taken on the newcomer POLLINATION. He cost 125,000 euros and any strong support in the betting for the Godolphin charge could prove significant.
