Stall 22 is a potential concern but EPIC POET, well treated on his French form, looks sure to land a top handicap for David O'Meara following his excellent second in the Duke of Edinburgh and he gets the vote in a typically wide-open John Smith's Cup. The admirable Haunted Dream and Kihavah, at bigger odds. are live contenders, with Penzance and Liberty Lane also towards the top of the shortlist.
