Power Struggle looked to have a fair chance in an apprentice race at Leopardstown last night so that result should be monitored. He was just a nose behind Brontide on that track two weeks ago and is 2lb better off as things stand so there's very little between that pair or third-placed Kubali. FULL COURT PRESS (NAP) had been running very well but few could have envisaged him winning so impressively at Ballinrobe on Monday. He's been raised a massive 13lb so coming here with a 5lb penalty should bring dividends. In Her Stride hasn't done as well as expected after her Dundalk victory though she has time on her side after just five runs .
