POTTERS CORNER, second over course and distance in February, has the highest rating of the four previous winners having run well for sixth in a Grade 3 at Sandown last month. He can make the most of the 7lb he receives from Overtown Express, an embryo chaser who has only won on heavy going so far though would have found the company too hot at Kelso last time. Kilcullen Flem may not be suited dropping back from 3m but is probably still improving whereas Eminent Poet has already had seven runs in handicaps and looks exposed.
