Verdict
Poetic Force is 4-5 here but having a first run at the track since 2017. George Baker has strong claims with the pair at the head of the weights but Lingfield winner Bowling Russian appears to have a better draw than Manton Grange. BEAUTY CHOICE (NAP) continued on an upward curve when beating Fighting Temeraire a length-and-a-quarter over course and distance last month and Charlie Fellowes’ gelding can defy a 3lb rise with Danielsflyer held on the form book.
