Squats would be tempting if returning to his best but does seem to have lost his way at present and the jury remains out. Rousayan should be cherry ripe after two starts and ran well latest but POET'S SOCIETY has been in fine form this term and was far from disgraced in a hot Class 2 affair on the Newcastle all-weather surface latest. He makes plenty of appeal but it must be noted that he was also entered at Doncaster on Friday. Flavius Titus should have more to offer against his elders, of whom Charles Molson is one to note. Things haven't quite gone his way so far this term but he should be well suited by this straight 7f and is a decent each-way shout.
