MAC'S POWER hasn't won since 2010 but his turn isn't far off judged on his latest effort on this track. He's been coming down the ratings gradually though the assessor appears to have given him a real opportunity here off 75 and he can take advantage. Rigolleto landed a similar class event at Kempton last month and with just 3lb extra to contend with has to be a major threat. My Kingdom last won a race at Newmarket in June and is actually lower in the weights so has to be considered along with Haadeeth, though the latter has a bit to find with Lujeanie on earlier running here. Parisian Pyramid has gone close on numerous occasions here but is still a maiden on an artificial surface after 14 starts.
