POWERSTOWN PARK (NAP) has completed a hat-trick over hurdles with very easy victories. He's never raced over regulation fences but has a victory between the flags to his credit so can continue his winning ways. Exelerator Express was a very lucky winner at Uttoxeter and the assessor didn't give him any more weight but he undoubtedly improved when narrowly beaten at Market Rasen though will need to make further progress. Iconic Muddle had little to beat at Plumpton a year ago and didn't reappear until December when appearing to find this trip too short while Loughan and My Boy James are making their debuts over fences.
