There should be more to come from the unexposed FIRST CHARGE, who left his form in novice company well behind when successful on handicap debut at Doncaster in October. This new trip should be within range and he gets the nod ahead of recent Wolverhampton winner Dream With Me. Save for a below-par effort when last seen, The Dancing Poet held his form well in 2020 and is also shortlisted.
