Verdict

POET'S PRIDE, four-times a winner on the all-weather, is 0-16 on Turf but his turn is close judged on his latest run behind today's rival Attelboro as he's 8lb better off for half-a-length. Dragons Call was just touched off by The Cola Kid at Naas with Pretty Smart close up in third. The winner goes in the previous division and there's nothing between the placed pair while Florence Thompson, who was a close fifth, was showing her best form for some time. The lightly-raced Theriverrunsdeep hasn't been beaten far since turning to handicaps and should be winning soon.
