Verdict
Poet's Society was never seen with a chance when favourite at Catterick last month while Suitcase 'n' Taxi weakened quickly once headed at Haydock having made all at Pontefract previously. DANDY HIGHWAYMAN beat the latter over course and distance in April and is 5lb better off. Ollie Pears’ charge finished close-up off this mark at Hamilton subsequently and is fancied to get back to winning ways. Impart wasn’t disgraced on his first run for David O’Meara at Chester but may benefit from a drop back to 5f. Glorious Rocket and Night Law are both having a first start for a new stable.
