Verdict
STREET POET improved for the fitting of a tongue-tie when runner-up here last week. He notched-up a four-timer at the track last summer and looks set for a return to winning ways in a weak contest now back on a winning mark. Red Gunner hasn’t threatened since scoring over track and trip in November while Allux Boy recorded his three course victories so far over a shorter trip. Odds On Oli won off a similar mark over track and trip on Boxing Day and returns to this venue for the first time since while Buonarotti Boy went close on his last visit here, though that was back in 2018 and he missed the whole of last year.
