This is wide-open and FEARLESS POET only gets a speculative vote on account of the fact he won a shade cosily over 7f here last time and stays the extra furlong.

However, the latter has something to find on collateral form with recent Lingfield runner-up Kucharova, while Emerald Royal is yet another with claims having beaten Teen Ager when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago.
