Polemon is our selection, and our ratings put him 6 lb ahead of Can’t Resist It, a worthwhile edge in a seven-runner Class 5 over two miles on good ground at Huntingdon. That gap is enough to make him the one to beat, though it is not a runaway margin. Can’t Resist It is the chief danger, with Bright Legend (107) and Latin (105) both close enough to take advantage if Polemon is below his best. Confidence is low, but the rating advantage is the clearest argument in a tight contest, so Polemon gets the vote.
