Verdict
THE POETS NEPHEW is a half-brother to winners on the Flat and over hurdles. Keith Dalgleish's charge may be good enough to make a winning start. Another Bill is related to a couple of winners over timber while Irish raider Verona Opera hails from a yard with a good strike rate at the track in bumpers. Ca Le Ferra can count the smart Sa Suffit among his winning relatives and is worth a second glance in the betting.
