Yaazaain beat Poet's Corner just over two lengths at Huntingdon but the latter was making his chasing debut that day and is better off at the weights now.

GREAT D’ANGE won well at Warwick in April and was leading when coming to grief on a return visit. If that hasn’t affected confidence, he can recoup losses.
