Verdict

The top pair have won 11 races between them here with Power Drive one behind Wild Shot though in better form having finished a close third behind today's rival Wonder Spirit three weeks ago. He's 3lb better off with the winner so there's unlikely to be much between them again while Numidia finally got off the mark when dropped to a mile a fortnight ago. He has no problems staying the extra but will be racing from 8lb higher. DR PATRICK led until just over a furlong out when tackling 1m4f two weeks ago and, as his only victory came over this trip, he's handed the vote from his very lowly mark.
