AW regular Poetic Force has shown improved turf form of late, so undoubtedly rates a player on rattling quick ground despite the drop back in trip, whilst Richard Hughes looks fully capable of getting the best out of his newly acquired juvenile Listed winner Apex King. However, the pick today is the Paul D'Arcy-trained SHADOW WARRIOR. Despite being closely matched with Throckley on Doncaster form (1m2f) in early June, this reduced trip of 1m appears to suit this gelding far better and with career form figures over this trip of 1,3,1, he must be on the premises after just a 2lb rise for his latest Windsor win.
