Street Poet won twice here last year but his two victories this year have come at Chelmsford and he didn’t run very well over a mile here earlier in the month. WILLING TO PLEASE is 0-8 on the all-weather but was beaten under a length off this mark over course and distance latest whereas Brazen Diamond couldn’t quite cope with a further 7lb rise when on a hat-trick here 12 days ago though is closely matched with the second that day, Mumma Mac, on today’s revised terms. None of the others make much appeal.
