POLYPHONY has been raised 6lb for winning over track and trip with Finoah behind but he drops down a grade for this and another bold bid is expected. Precision Storm also finished behind the selection but has subsequently finished runner-up back here while both Gavi Di Gavi and Visibility scored at the track on their penultimate starts. Gold Ribbon and At Ease have plenty of scope with the latter making her handicap debut.
