Verdict
Powerful Position won over track and trip in November but has failed to complete the last twice and BROOKSWAY FAIR gets another chance. The latter also won here in November and it was heavy going when only fourth upped to today’s trip at Uttoxeter last time. Kestrel Valley finished closer at Hereford having slipped down the weights while Kingston King placed at Bangor last time and steps back up in distance. Son Of Oz has more scope than most having ran well for third over track and trip last month.
