Poetic Imagination finished no nearer in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time and returns to novice company off the same mark as Mount Victoria. The latter has gone backwards since making a promising start at Ripon while Sweet Symphony finished in front of Short Head when runner-up at Kempton but was still beaten six lengths. KATH’S LUSTRE drops back to 6f having posted an improved effort when second at Lingfield last month. She beat a horse rated 69 and a similar effort should see her thereabouts at the finish. Marietta Robusti is related to three winners and a newcomer to note.
