James Park Woods was thereabouts on the Turf in October while Casina Di Notte finished a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton recently though had earlier finished behind Accomplice at Lingfield. Azets has a shout on a second at Kempton last time while Casaruan looks high enough in the weights now but POETRY AND ART has plenty of scope. The latter is fitted with a tongue-tie after finding one too good at Southwell and there should be more to come from the William Haggas-trained filly now handicapping.
