        Verdict

        The likes of Poet's Dawn, Cockalorum and Society Red are old favourites and, along with Strawman, previous course and distance winners. Buthe four-year-olds Animato and Whitefeathersfall have a bit more scope for improvement and the latter won first-time up last season. The handicapper is struggling to keep pace with Irish import PAINTERS PALETTE (NAP), who should complete the hat-trick if transferring recent Tapeta form back to Turf.
