Flat White returned an easy winner over track and trip last time but today’s faster going is a bigger worry than the 8lb rise and THE DANCING POET is preferred. Simon Walker steered the latter to victory over 1m4f here last time and the winning hurdler stays this far. Byron Hill is back on a winning mark as he debuts for a new yard while Psyche beat Clifftop Heaven when scoring at Wolverhampton in July and Point Of Honour won for Pippa Brown at Musselburgh in the same month.
