      Verdict

      War Poet had Eric The Grey and Braveheart Move well behind when runner-up over track and trip last time. He should be thereabouts again while Next Edition finished closer at York last week having slipped down the weights and is another to consider. WHITE NILE finished a close-up fourth on his seasonal debut, also at York, and he gets the vote dropped in class for this with plenty of scope for further progress. Picalily has been raised 9lb for an easy win at Southwell and Waverunner is not certain to last home stepping up in trip.
