Formscan - Premiership's stamina appeared stretched by the 1m2f distance at Ripon last time out and the four-year-old shouldn't be underestimated now he is returned to 1m. Preference, however, is for Tim Easterby's POET'S DAWN. The selection has shaped better than the beaten distance suggests in recent appearances, with a drop in the ratings (2lb) and class perhaps enough for him to gain a first success of the season. C&D winner Copper And Five often runs well here and also merits consideration.
