Verdict

Be Prepared won over 6f earlier but previous efforts over this longer trip fail to boost confidence. Mighty Power has been running well over a mile having won on the Polytrack here in April but Hieronymus remains 9lb higher than when scoring at Kempton last summer. Marks Bear steps up in distance after winning over 6f at Chelmsford but STREET KID finished runner-up over today’s trip at Haydock last month with a couple of subsequent winners behind and any further progress should see him go one better.
