Prime Powered, Jibajaba, Krugerrand and Abbondanza all look to hold chances on the book and we like Prime Powered at these terms. Ralph Beckett's charge endured something of a losing run but the fact that he's taking his chances here speaks volumes and any overnight rain would far from hinder his chances of staging a successful follow-up. Jibajaba is very much unexposed and could be on the upgrade despite a below par run last time out. Krugerrand is invariably backed in races of this nature and looks sure to have his long suffering followers once again. Abbondanza is still potentially well treated versus his juvenile scores with Howard Johnson but this is arguably a tougher affair than the race he won here over eight furlongs. Trouble Mountain is a far from forlorn hope off this mark and having ran well off a 1lb higher mark at Newcastle, it would be no surprise to see any punter interest. Moonhawk is similarly watched in the market. An intriguing finale and Prime Powered is taken to pick up the prize.
