      In depth

      Verdict

      The Dancing Poet has been raised only 2lb for winning at Catterick but is upped a grade and PURDEY’S GIFT is preferred. The latter was beaten less than a length at Pontefract recently and can go one better with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Thai Terrier finished tailed off on his reappearance at Ayr though steps up in distance with Ryan Moore on board for this while Starfighter still looks too high in the weights having won just the once in 17 starts so far.
