Verdict

It was a rocky start for POETRY MAN over fences but he now appears to be going the right way and is taken to go one better than at Newcastle where he shaped as though this step back up in trip would be in his favour. Ballynagran may not be one to set your watch by but a reproduction of his latest Wetherby effort would bring him squarely into the argument. Torosay has been knocking on the door and also merits respect, along with last year's winner Gibberwell.
