Formscan - The hat-trick seeking Ayr Poet has been nothing shy of progressive recently and Jim Goldie's eight-year-old can go close under a 4lb penalty for his last success. However, GOLDEN VALOUR filled the runner-up spot behind the aforementioned most recently and can reverse that form now 6lb better off with his rival. Havana Party is another to bear in mind following a decent third at Hamilton in June.
