Last year's shock Nunthorpe winner Sole Power has continued to perform with credit though his Group 1 penalty has hindered his progress. AMOUR PROPRE has found Masamah just too good on his recent starts at York and Goodwood and looks to have every chance of going one better. Invincible Ash was well beaten in this a year ago and Roicead will find this tougher than winning handicaps. Katla and Empowering are very closely matched on their 1-2 at Naas in July and both should go well in an open sprint.
