        Verdict

        Poet's Society has the plum draw but looks thoroughly exposed. Impart has a penalty for Wednesday’s victory at Ripon while Tallinski didn’t beat much at Nottingham and was behind Poet's Society at Newcastle earlier. Rosabelle beat Megan Lily on worse terms here in September and is back in the right grade but LEONTES also has his sights lowered after a pipe-opener on the all-weather and, successful over 6f here last summer, can pounce late and record a second course victory.
