CITY SELECTIONS The last time LOVE POEMS attempted this distance she won quite comfortably over C&D and since then she has been outstayed over further. Returned to her optimum trip here, the daughter of Camelot can regain the winning thread at the main expense of the unexposed Second Kingdom, who is interesting on his handicap debut having run well the last twice over shorter. Dubai Emperor must be a player if seeing out the distance, while Dereham is another to consider. LOVE POEMS
