Poet's Dawn¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-10| J: Charlie O'Dwyer⁽⁷⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| CD

5/1

Multiple course winner. Career best when winning 7-runner C&D handicap 18 days ago, always holding on. Career-high mark to defy in hat-trick bid but he's a player.

Form: 950-011

Global Spirit²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 83| D

11/1

Dual winner last season who stepped up on return when creditable sixth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good) 28 days ago. Ease in class a plus and not out of things from this mark.

Form: 6013-56

(8)

Three Saints Bay¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: L Bailey| OR: 83| CD

22/1

Inconsistent performer. 40/1, best effort of present campaign when third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good) 18 days ago. Now his task is to back that up.

Form: 420-043

Fox Power^b¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

10/1

Very useful at his best but not tasted success since spring 2019. Fallen plenty in the weights and ran creditably when third at Newmarket (1m) 2 weeks ago and not ruled out if putting it all together.

Form: 4-87453

Al Erayg^p,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-5| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 81| D

16/1

Back to winning ways in big-field Redcar handicap (1m) in October. Stepped up on comeback without returning to best when fourth in 6-runner Hamilton handicap (9f).

Poet's Lady²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: T D Barron| OR: 77| D

2/1

4/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ascot (1m, soft) 21 days ago, not ideally placed in a steadily-run race. Remains with unfinished business from this sort of mark.

Form: 212-753

(3)

Sagauteur¹⁹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 77| D

28/1

Useful, dual 1m winner in France. Unable to match that level in handful of starts for new yard last autumn but far too soon to be writing him off from easing mark.

Form: 7/38865-

Gulf Of Poets^t²³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 73| C| D

18/1

Course winner who hasn't tasted success since spring 2018. Distinctly mixed efforts last season but another who arrives lower in the weights than he's ever been. One to note in the betting for clues.

Form: 674848-

Widaad²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: G Boughey| OR: 73| BF

9/4

Winner at Newmarket in May. Creditable efforts since, again not beaten far at Haydock on Thursday. One to consider.

Form: 0-34123

Forecasts

Poet's Lady (2/1), Widaad (9/4), Poet's Dawn (5/1), Fox Power (10/1), Global Spirit (11/1), Al Erayg (16/1), Gulf Of Poets (18/1), Three Saints Bay (22/1), Sagauteur (28/1)

A competitive contest with a chance taken on relatively low-mileage filly POET'S LADY. A winner at Haydock last summer, she's caught the eye on 2 of her 3 starts this season, highlighting she's on a workable mark, and she's fancied to be firmly in the mix. Widaad, Global Spirit and the hat-trick seeking Poet's Dawn head up the dangers.
