Socialist Agenda is on a fair mark nowadays but needs to rediscover his best form. Bertie's Wish has won on the Flat since pulled up in a Class 2 at Sandown on the final day of last season. SCOTS POET has improved this year and has twice run well in defeat since successful at Musselburgh in February. He is getting plenty of weight from his rivals including Calico, who only won a Tramore maiden having his 13th run over hurdles. Glentruan was entered in the 6.30 here last night.
