Verdict

GULF OF POETS ran a big race in defeat in the Hunt Cup at Wetherby on Saturday and has the potential to improve now stepped back up in trip. Dark Red is a course and distance winner who gets Ryan Moore in the saddle and he's another who may improve for a step back up in trip while Petite Jack isn't ruled out from his reduced handicap mark on turf.
