In depth
Verdict
Poet's Society was caught in the final furlong when attempting to make all over 6f at Lingfield last week and will probably adopt similar tactics back over the minimum trip. But this should suit TALLINSKI, runner-up to the unbeaten Lomu at Musselburgh last month when well clear of the rest. Ventura Secret is a likely improver while £120,000 purchase Kodicat is a newcomer to note along with Heatongrad and Elegantly Bound.
