Most of these attempt this longer trip for the first time including TODAY POWER (NAP). The latter did well to finish a close-up fourth when favourite at Kempton last time having found himself detached from the field after an awkward start and should make a bold bid with a clean break. Abadie and Collette will need to improve on their efforts in handicaps so far while Golden Fountain takes a big step up in distance having raced over 6f here recently and goes handicapping for the first time along with Mr Shady and Critique.
