POOL HOUSE has shown enough to suggest an ordinary maiden race should come his way. He found one too good when attempting to make all over 6f at Kempton last month and this shorter trip will suit. Monsieur Lavene had finished ahead of Excedo Praecedo before a poor effort at Kempton. He was well beaten along with Rochester when Shaft Of Light finished seventh and the latter should confirm running. Pushkin Museum is another with plenty of early pace and can figure dropping back in distance.
