EVASIVE POWER has run well off this mark since scoring at Epsom last month. He won’t be fazed by a return to the all-weather and is one of the more likely winners of a competitive handicap which sees Bowman reappear 10 days after an all-the way win over 7f at Lingfield. Existent is another back over a shorter trip after missing the break last time at Newmarket but he’s having a first run on the surface. Tyger Bay is rarely far away but has been creeping up the weights without winning.
