Energia Fox is proving hard to win with and drops further down the weights after another modest effort at Newmarket. But POETIC VERSE is getting steadily closer and John Quinn's mare may well be good enough racing off the same mark as when second at Pontefract on her latest outing. Both Vicky Valentine and Grand Liaison failed to figure off higher marks last time having won their previous starts and Rowlestone Lass has yet to win on Turf. Thatchereen and Some Site are not badly weighted but both are making their seasonal debuts.
