FormscanBy Mark Nunan - POET’S PRIDE, a four-time winner on all-weather surfaces, is dropped into a claimer for the first time and may be able to register a first victory on turf. He was only beaten half a length in a Tipperary handicap last summer and was an encouraging fifth in a big field at Naas earlier this month on his first run since September. Caesar’s Comet is a regular in this type of race and was fourth in last year’s renewal. He had a couple of spins at Dundalk last month after a short break and four of his five wins have come on turf. Like the selection, Eglish has yet to score on turf but this six-time winner wasn’t beaten that far in a course and distance handicap last time. Drummond Warrior, touched off at Navan in the autumn, is a prominent racer and could go well at a price from the inside stall.
