Poet's Pride is a three-times track winner who is on the same mark as when last successful in February. Iva Batt has changed stables after being claimed in October but has gradually dropped to a mark she's capable of winning off. The three-year-old Reinforce has never won and looks a bit high while Might And Mercy's best recent form has been over further. JAZZY DANCER is 1-28 but has run well enough here the last twice to double his winning tally in a poor quality event.
