Modest filly. C&D win in August 2023 is her sole success from 28 Flat runs. 14/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) when last seen in February. Chance if rediscovering old form.

Forecasts

Martin's Brig (11/4), Starshot (9/2), Hurricane Bea (9/2), Poet (13/2), Buttercross Flyer (13/2), Oselton (8/1), Spartan Fighter (8/1), Mary Anne Maximus (20/1), Elzour (80/1)

POET has been exclusively campaigned over 6f so far this season, but he has shaped on more than one occasion as though a return to this trip would be welcomed. He gets the nod ahead of Martin's Brig and potential improver Mary Anne Maximus.
