Verdict

The admirable veteran POETIC FORCE may be the most solid option here, having backed up his C&D win last month with a creditable second at Lingfield 2 weeks ago. Ernie's Valentine runs his race more often than not and it's interesting that he has a fully-fledged rider back in the saddle, whilst Fire Eyes had a productive 2025 campaign and is respected on her return.
