Polonius looks a progressive type and we will take Henry Candy's charge against prolific winner Bonne De Fleur. Henry Candy's two-year-olds couldn't be in better heart at the moment and this athletic individual should have too many guns for his rivals. There was no disgrace in finishing third to two well-regarded types in Kingsword and Colour Wheel at Salisbury and as the former held Dewhurst and Racing Post Trophy entries - the form speaks for itself. Bonne De Fleur ran well in a York Nursery behind Traytronic and has plenty of speed. The handicapper has had plenty of chance to look at her and we will oppose here. Trotters Bottom has been in good heart on the all-weather this term. Officially at the BHB ratings he has a bit to find off today's weights. Urban Rose possesses a speedy pedigree and looks to be on the upgrade. Her trainer sent out a winner on Monday and she looks a percentage each-way call. Cyfrwys is favoured at today's weights and is consistent. She found Rum Shot too hot and the form of his run on Tuesday should speak volumes. The remainder face difficult tasks. Polonius is given the verdict.
