In depth
Verdict
POET’S SOCIETY is penalised 6lb for winning a novice race over track and trip last month. But he’s subsequently gone close in a conditions event at Musselburgh and collateral form gives him the beating of the filly Pulsating. The latter was third at Hamilton last time while both My Cherry Blossom and Seebring showed some ability on their respective debuts and are likely improvers. But Champion Harbour and Affordability went backwards on their latest outings and Lady Cristal has a bit to find with the selection on her earlier defeat at the hands of Kocollada.
