      Verdict

      Three yards are dually represented which makes things trickier, but the hat-trick seeking Ayr Poet will be popular and should give it a good shot in his current strong vein of form. He is inching up the weights though and has a 4lb penalty to deal with in what feels a better race. INNSE GALL is therefore the call despite topweight as Jardine inmates continue to perform with credit, Aiden Brookes claims a useful 5lb and the gelding is down to just 1lb above his last winning rating despite continuing to perform consistently well. Havana Party is also a decent chance for the Jardine yard on return from a break, whilst Arch Moon is expected to be in the shake-up for Michael Dods and Golden Valour looks best of the R Mike Smith duo despite his longstanding maiden status on Turf.
