    Verdict

    Poet's Society was due to run last night at Goodwood so this small field could be reduced further. MONAADHIL has won two of his three starts and was second in the other. He hasn’t raced since November but is potentially well treated on a mark of 83 and can get the better of Isomer, placed at Kempton and Newmarket earlier this year before run poorly at York. Chevallier hasn’t won on Turf in more than two years but is still 11lb higher.
