International Law gained his fourth victory on the track in a Class 6 handicap but couldn't quite cope with a 4lb rise when tackling this grade on a return visit. My Poem hasn't had much experience but was staying on over slightly shorter at Windsor and should be winning in this grade soon. Burano Boy is also a maiden but his last two runs on Polytrack point to his chances if taking to the surface. CHAMPS DE REVES has never won here but his latest run at Bath when beaten a neck points to his chances and Megan Nicholls' claim is a plus.
