Northern Poet and William Cody are closely matched on their 1-2 at Huntingdon in February while Upton Road is interesting dropping back in distance. Eaton Collina took advantage of a lenient mark at Chepstow last time but has gone back up the weights since. Allo Allo was second on his chasing bow at Carlisle but this is a tougher assignment. GAMARET (NAP) impressed at Newbury in December but failed to land the odds at Sandown next time. However, he remains unexposed and can land a competitive-looking contest here ahead of Kayf Hernando, another still with plenty of scope.
