Verdict

Power Drive is a three-times course winner who has been racing over further since scoring under today's rider over the track and trip in November from 9lb lower. Fox Leicester, three-times a Polytrack winner in the UK, has run well for new connections here the last twice and looks certain to get involved but the unexposed ERTIKAAZ may have his measure. Well beaten in three Polytrack starts for Roger Varian, he attracted good support and made a very encouraging debut for new connections earlier this month and can get off the mark. Rockview Roman hasn't won since 2019 but Super Proud has joined John McConnell from William Haggas and her new trainer will find a race for her soon.
