Formscan - David O'Meara landed this contest two years ago with Get Shirty and the trainer can do so once more with EPIC POET, who runs in the same colours. The son of Lope De Vega showed marked improvement from first to second start for his new connections when runner-up in the Duke Of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to return to winning ways. A comfortable scorer over this distance at Epsom on his penultimate outing, Relentless Voyager should be thereabouts, along with the returning La Yakel for the in-form William Haggas yard. Chillingham has threatened to win a handicap of this nature for some time and is another to consider, as well as the veteran Euchen Glen and Iron Lion.
