SCOTS POET has shown improved form this year, gaining a first handicap success at Musselburgh in February and leaving the impression that he should have finished closer when fourth at Ayr last time (yet to be asked for effort when not fluent 3 out). He can see off the challenge of handicap debutante Calico, while Bertie's Wish also merits consideration.
