Brendan Powell has been very patient with Marcus William and looks to have found the gelding a good opportunity to land a second course victory. The six-year-old does not appear to be ground dependant and his experience of this track can enable him to get the better of Dabarpour and Capriolo, who have both been found wanting when the chips are down in the past.
