      Verdict

      Last year’s Northumberland Plate hero HIGHER POWER (NAP) faded away in the closing stages of his comeback run in Listed company at Nottingham but James Fanshawe’s stayer should be bang there at the finish if back to his best. Great Hall won a tough handicap over 1m4f at Ripon last month but the consistent Weekender may prove a bigger threat on his reappearance having passed the post first over today’s trip at Ascot in October only to be demoted for hampering a rival. Ocean Of Love has shown good progress in handicaps but Haines has a bit to find on these terms.
