NonRunner
Street Poet hardly ever runs anywhere else and has won eight times on the track, the latest in July from just 2lb lower. Inaam is another regular winner here though his last victory was almost a year ago. Freedom And Wheat went up 6lb for scoring here in August but it made no difference as he completed a double in fine style on a return visit. Both runs were in Class 6 company and he's up another 6lb in this better grade. ARAMIS GREY has been in excellent form and followed a victory at Lingfield with a narrow defeat by today's rival Ivadream here last month. Rae Guest's filly didn't quite get the run of the race that day and can reverse the form and take this. Sweet Joanna has only had four runs and makes her handicap debut from a lowly mark while Al Aresh was engaged in the 7.00 here last night.
