Arabic Culture won a seller at Wolverhampton easily enough last time but plenty of these have form on the Fibresand. Havelock finished runner-up here recently with previous course winner Bond Angel back in third while Zodiakos counted Mr Coco Bean among his victims when scoring at the track in November and narrowly beating Break The Silence. But DASHING POET is another course and distance winner having finished in front of 2017 winner Shearian last month and she gets the vote back in this lower grade after placing off today’s mark here a week ago.
