Verdict

POLYBIUS can be a frustrating character, but he shows his best form here, and can repeat last year's win from a 4lb lower mark having caught the eye finishing best from a hopeless spot at Newcastle last time. Soldier's Minute probably needs things to go his way, but the drop in class gives him a chance to dominate, and he looks the main threat. Drummond Warrior has a bit to prove but is well handicapped based on the subsequent exploits of the pair he split at Newmarket on his penultimate start, and could progress again if forgiven a flop last time.
