Street Poet tries for his 11th course victory and, though out of form, has won from much higher marks. Six-times course winner PEACHEY CARNEHAN has dropped to a very fair mark and showed a lot more dash here a month ago when just behind third-placed Dark Design. He'll be a massive 11lb better off with Henry Spiller's charge and should have no problems reversing the form. He's also better off with the runner-up Okaidi, who has since disappointed at Southwell and is still a maiden after a dozen runs. Sparkle In His Eye won his first race since arriving from France when making all over a mile at Kempton so stepping down in trip shouldn't be a problem and Trevi Fountain looked in good form when scoring at Chelmsford and missed the break at Southwell next time.
