Torolight ran well again over a longer distance last time but is 9lb higher than when scoring over track and trip before that. Heatherdown went close here before winning over 7f at Wolverhampton and is preferred to Southwell runner-up Greyzee but PICTURE POET makes most appeal. Gelded at the end of last year, Henry Spiller’s charge found only one too good over course and distance on his latest start and another bold bid looks likely. Moonlit Sea and Image Of The Moon make their handicap debuts though the former has the more recent form.
