Poet's Society is back on the same mark as when scoring at Lingfield in April but Equiano Springs is upped in class and raised a further 5lb after landing a double on the all-weather. Our Charlie Brown won on soft ground here last year and is closely matched on earlier running with the returning Raselasad while Bint Arcano is not badly treated, though a wide draw is not ideal. ROUSAYAN usually saves his best for Beverley and landed a double over the extended 7f there last term. But he should be sharper for last month’s comeback in a tougher race than this and David O’Meara’s charge gets the speculative vote in an open affair.
