Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Limerick (8f, good to firm) 54 days ago. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Not the easiest to win with but claims from this mark.

Forecasts

Poet's Magic (11/4), Riot (10/3), Jump The Gun (4/1), Ventura Rascal (11/2), Black Friday (10/1), Nearly A Gonna (11/1), Tommy G (12/1), Cisco Disco (16/1)

Verdict

POET'S MAGIC has a fine C&D record and has remained in form since her recent Chester win, so looks the one to beat here. Riot isn't the easiest to win with but can give a good account, with Ventura Rascal also a player.
