DASHING POET (NAP) made a winning return over 7f at Haydock last month. She’s been raised 4lb but won off the same mark over a mile at Lingfield last year and can go in again. Love And Be Loved was less successful at Ascot on her reappearance but this is easier and she ended last year with a hat-trick of soft ground wins. Accomplice could go well on the back of a third at Bath while Natalie Express returns to Turf for the first time since leaving France in December and has won at Lingfield subsequently.
