NAVAL POWER has done nothing wrong so far and he’ll be a warm order in this Listed affair after a convincing victory at Leicester last month. Waiting All Night has had a couple of tilts in Group company and kept on well to be fifth in the Coventry here last month. Finn's Charm also appeared at the Royal meeting and was ultimately fourth in the Chesham having attempted to make the running. Bajan Bandit needed a fair amount of stoking at Salisbury but he responded gamely to it and Richard Hannon’s colt cannot be dismissed lightly this afternoon.
