In depth
Verdict
SOYOUNIQUE (NAP) missed out on a hat-trick when finding one too good at Lingfield but he failed to get a clear run in the closing stages and looks worth another chance. Street Poet also ran into trouble at Chelmsford when bidding for a treble and is not out of this but Clegane has come up short since scoring at Lingfield in March. Turquoise Kingdom drops down in trip from 1m2f and Blame Culture is preferred dropping back down in class.
