Eminent Poet is the class horse in the field and merits plenty of respect in this grade, though there are one or two involved who could push him all the way. One of those is CRUCIAL ROLE, who is upped in grade after an impressive win at Ludlow last time. The booking of Richard Johnson suggests that there is some confidence in his chance of following-up. Polydora, King Uther and Beneagles are all interesting, while Itsnonofurbusiness came good last time and he looks a danger, especially over this even longer trip.
