David Barron sent out the winner in 2013 and POET'S PRIZE ran well for second in better company than this at York last time. The latter gets the vote to come good in this. Extortion also has strong claims after going close over 6f at Newcastle while Plantation may improve back on fast ground. Wizardess has more scope than the exposed Belledesert while Sanaadh is out of a prolific mare and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
