Munro and Evergate arrive in good form but with tough draws to overcome. Zamjar has a perfect pitch and several form lines suggest he may be thrown in here. Nevertheless, Ed Dunlop's yard have been finding winners harder to come by recently and Zamjar rarely runs two races a like. Poet's Society represents a trainer and jockey combination that know exactly what it takes to win around here and he could take some pegging back if allowed to make the running. Preference though is for FULL INTENTION who is well handicapped on last summer's juvenile form which included finishing fourth at Royal Ascot. The local runner was forced to race wide last time and is closely matched with Evergate on that showing. He has proven experience on the track having been placed here twice and another big run is anticipated.
