IT’S POETRY IN MOTION

- BY GARRY OWEN

SCOTS POET (6.40) can scorch to victory for Ewan Whillans in the Sea Pigeon Hurdle at Musselburg­h.

The gelding resumed his upward curve when routing Ballygeary in a valuable event at this venue. The eight-old scored with plenty in hand so he can claim another big prize for his thriving trainer.

SPEED DAVIS (4.30) can show his rivals a clean pair of heels in the Cleartech Maiden Hurdle. Donald McCain’s horse was unlucky to encounter

Pickanumbe­r on his timber bow at Catterick. That was an excellent effort so the six year old can gain compensati­on for his in-form handler.

The handler can double-up with ISHOLO DU VIVIEN (7.10) in the Racing TV Handicap Hurdle. The six year old ended his novice campaign with a creditable third behind

Wolfburg at Catterick. The gelding was staying-on strongly so can take advantage of a fair opening mark over 2m 3f.

SUNDAY SOLDIER (5.05) looks lethal for Team Killanena & McPherson in the Lady Buttons Hurdle.

The mare completed a tremendous four-timer by absolutely bolting-up from Spit Spot at Doncaster. The six-year-old was doing all her best work late that day so can make it five up three furlongs.

LATIN VERSE (5.40) can conquer his rivals for Syd Hosie in the Grey Bomber Hurdle.

The gelding ran well for a long way before being pulled-up in the Boodles at Cheltenham. He’s been upwardly mobile so can regain the winning thread down in class.

CHAMP ROYAL (6.10) can reign supreme for Susan Corbett in the Brindisi Breeze Hurdle. The eight-year-old stayed in peak form with an emphatic defeat of Burrows Hall at Catterick.

JEWEL OF WINDSOR (7.40) can sparkle for Emmet Mullins in the closing bumper. The mare can do plenty of damage under Rules after some encouragin­g efforts in Irish points.

VIA BLANCA (5.15) is the path to profit in the closing sprint on the all-weather at Lingfield.

The filly is nicely unexposed for David Loughnane after outbattlin­g Split The Profit at Southwell.
