Poet's Dawn and COSMOS RAJ have both travelled down from North Yorkshire and can play a part in a handicap that has more quantity than quality. The former won over this trip at Redcar in September but the latter gets the vote on his second at Ayr two runs ago. He used up a lot of energy getting to the front from a high draw at Pontefract subsequently. Windsor winner Marsh Benham has claims, despite a penalty, and Forward Flight has only been raised 2lb for winning at Yarmouth. Kalamunda has shown his best form on artificial surfaces so far but is improving so can’t be ignored.
