      Verdict

      Chelmsford winner The Dancing Poet was well beaten on his only previous run on Turf but is less exposed than the majority of these. Knowing is running well and wasn’t beaten far off this mark over further at Yarmouth while Sootability got back to winning ways at Carlisle last month. ISLE OF WOLVES justified favouritism a shade cosily here last month. Jim Boyle’s gelding was raised 4lb for that but looks sure to go close again in a tight little handicap.
