Verdict
A Go Go failed to land a hat-trick upped to today’s trip at Wolverhampton while Shamshon’s earlier win here came over the minimum trip. Knockout Blow missed out on a course and distance treble when last in action but that was back in 2019 while Desert Land scored over track and trip more recently and can confirm running with Sword Exceed. But POWER OVER ME made a winning debut for a new connections when landing a maiden at Chelmsford a week ago. The runner-up is rated higher than any of these so the form looks strong enough in this context and Robin Brisland’s charge is taken to defy a penalty.
