Verdict

Some well-bred newcomers on show but it could pay to side with POET. Roger Varian's charge disappointed when only sixth at Salisbury last month but he's worth another chance to confirm his debut promise here. Level Up could provide the main threat sporting first-time blinkers, while Taaqat, Infrared and Desert Team look likely sorts on paper and any market support may prove significant.
