Poet's Corner has joined Neil King since winning a maiden point in April. The Turtle Said has also changed stables since just coming up short at Huntingdon a little over a year ago and his former handler runs FEAST in this. The first foal to race of a bumper and hurdles winner, the Walk In The Park gelding will know his job and is likely to attract market support. Haas Boy ran green when fourth at Worcester last month but Tchoupinminzac was a little disappointing when making his UK debut at Worcester and Hungry Hill, a half-brother to three winners, looks a better long-term prospect.
