Law Power came good in his fourth start in a nursery at Catterick but has been raised 5lb for that. Kodiac Khan has gone up 6lb since a recent course and victory but experience of this track is always a plus. Mutahaady has won his last two at Carlisle and Hamilton but has already been beaten twice over this longer trip. Richard Hannon's string appears to be running into a bit of form so Monoshka gets a mention and is preferred to Yarmouth winner Sixties Habana. TRADING PUNCHES powered clear on easy going at Chepstow and Jim Crowley keeps faith with David Brown's top weight who is taken to follow up.
