    Verdict

    Poetic Power ran well for a long way on his debut at Bangor last Monday while Bountiful Catch showed promise behind Outback here four weeks ago and should get closer on better terms. But it's difficult to look beyond MCVICAR, who beat dual winner Fisher on his first start over timber at Kempton with Dollar Bill a distant third and is open to obvious improvement. Electrician won as a two-year-old for John Gosden but is probably best watched here.
