Punk Poet gained his fifth course victory a fortnight ago and though all have been over a mile he has won over this trip on Turf. HIGHTIMEYOUWON was beaten four lengths by him at Laytown but was conceding 10lb and will be receiving 5lb here so should have few problems reversing the form. Sea Chariot was having only his third start here when scoring for the second time earlier this month and has the scope to do better as does another three-year-old Pier Pressure, who defied interference to land a maiden at that same fixture.
