Shoot To Kill completed a hat-trick with last month’s course and distance success and looks sure to figure again raised only 3lb. He has the beating of Keyser Soze on latest running but FOX POWER (NAP) ended a long losing run when making a winning debut for Mick Appleby’s yard with a cosy victory at Wolverhampton. He’s penalised 5lb but had slipped down the weights previously and should go close again. Isola Rossa’s earlier win here came in a lower grade while Passionova hasn’t raced since October.
