Verdict
Party Tiger was only just beaten by Dandy Flame, who runs earlier, over 7f here last time, and may have some more improvement in him on the all-weather. Poetic Force has two course and distance victories to his credit and scored over 1m2f at Lingfield last time. He still looks reasonably treated but this can go to ENFOLDING (NAP) . James Fanshawe's charge is making his handicap debut but looked certain to make progress when staying on strongly over 7f at Lingfield last month. Shabeeh has performed well in both starts here though probably needs to find a bit more but Moamar could have got in lightly after a narrow-but-smooth victory at Newcastle.
