Verdict

After achieving a clear seasonal best when runner-up at Lingfield last time, the vote goes to MASTER POET. Despite the fact he is still winless after nine starts, that was his first start over 7f this season, and with the promise of more to come, he is a confident selection. He took advantage of a reduced mark when successful at Salisbury last week, and Bounty Pursuit is likely to be well found in the market as he bids to follow up that victory. Another Boy looks best of the rest after escaping a penalty for showing marked improvement to win an apprentice handicap on the same card as Bounty Pursuit just eight days ago.
  1. Master Poet
  2. Bounty Pursuit
  3. Another Boy
