Racing Post verdict
Third-partyThe Flying Poet has a good record at this venue, landing a short-head success here two starts ago and remaining consistent in the form book; jumping errors cost him last time but blinkers and tongue-tie go on for a horse effective over 3m on a sound surface. Get A Superstar arrives in back-to-back form but faces a stamina query over the longer trip, while Thehairyfella could benefit from first-time blinkers off a mark that looks within reach. Our selection is The Flying Poet.
