    Verdict

    There was little between Bazwind and Global Revival when they occupied the places at Wolverhampton last time and that could be the case again today. Olympic Legend steps up in trip on his debut for new connections after winning over a mile at Naas back in September but POETIC FORCE (NAP) makes most appeal. He only won a claimer at Wolverhampton last month but was beaten less than a length in a higher grade handicap at the same track last time and should go close again confirming latest running with Hochfeld in the process.
