Last month’s Kempton third Glorious Poet is quite lightly raced and looks a likely sort for a race like this. Born To Finish has yet to win on Turf but he’s been going well since switching from the all-weather and is not without a chance. Flyboy and Manton Grange are others with decent claims but King Of Swing is unreliable and Flying Fantasy may find this company too hot. ANOTHER BOY gets a tentative vote as he’s now a pound lower than when winning over this trip at Sandown last year and he’ll be all the better for his comeback at Newmarket.
