Verdict

Poetic Force slips further down the weights but GREG THE GREAT (NAP) represents a yard in cracking form and there appears no reason why Trais Fluors should reverse recent Newbury running. Raqraaq was a beaten favourite at Kempton last month but is now 0-10 and Grand Libya is also struggling to get his head in front but Havana Goldrush has been going well at Bath this spring and has also won on the all-weather.
