Forecasts

Poet's Word (4/6), Fabricate (3/1), Laraaib (8/1), Desert Encounter (12/1), Air Pilot (16/1)

POET'S WORD has been plying his trade in Group 1 company in recent times and he looks sure to appreciate the drop in class here. Fabricate ran well here last time behind a Sir Michael Stoute runner who has franked the form since and may be capable of doing so again. Desert Encounter could be of interest but will need a strong gallop to be seen at his best and that looks unlikely.
