Formscan  - A 2lb nudge up in the ratings for POETIC FORCE's victory over 1m here recently looks workable and an 18th career victory could be on the cards. The son of Lope De Vega should have little issue with a drop back in distance and he shades the vote over Dandy G Boy. The three-year-old made a winning stable bow at Wolverhampton last month and isn't taken lightly. H Key Lails is the pick of the remainder.
