Having already won a point-to-point and a bumper, GLOBAL POWER overcame trouble in running to beat more experienced rivals over C&D on his debut over hurdles last month. Though he probably has more on his plate today under a penalty Oliver Sherwood's charge, who holds Red Mile on that run, is still clearly heading in the right direction and can extend his unbeaten record. Uttoxeter second Definite Dawn is also improving, but Carpincho now has something to prove having disappointed at Catterick last time. No Secrets has shown ability in a couple of bumpers and is the most interesting of the hurdling newcomers.
