Solid effort when beaten 1½l to finish runner-up over 1m½f at Scottsville (Listed race) three weeks ago; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking.

Could not compete with Enflame when third over 1m6f here (Listed race) three weeks ago; specialist here with six wins; should be thereabouts.

Knocking at the door recently; impressive record here of three wins from nine runs; behind Enflame when better was expected (went off 9-4) 21 days ago in a Listed race upped to 1m6f; looks likely to go well.

Verdict

This tight-looking race poses an interesting puzzle. The otherwise interesting Enflame has a stamina query to answer at this trip while Mo Ment has a fine course record. However, POETS WARRIOR is taken to get the job done here. He can overturn the form with a few of his rivals and is going for his seventh course success.
