Formscan - Dropping into classified company has prompted a mini revival from FIGHTING POET, who can build on two placed efforts at this level if the first-time visor draws the requisite effort for him to stay focused in the closing stages. Smoker Bellamy is feared the most, stepping out of handicap company after a better effort at Southwell, while Lawmans Blis is a three-time C&D winner who cannot be ruled out debuting for a new yard in a weak event.
