POET’S MAGIC won over course and distance last month and found only one too good at Haydock last time. Another bold bid is expected in this given Toussarok hasn’t won since last year’s debut and Higher Kingdom has recorded both victories so far on the all-weather. Headgear is applied to The Thin Blue Line as he steps up in trip, Call Me Ginger hasn’t won since 2019 and Get Knotted is hard to predict nowadays.
