        Verdict

        After John had landed a course and distance hat-trick before finding MIGHTY POWER too good back here. The latter remains unexposed over today’s trip and another bold bid is expected in an open affair. Hello Me showed signs of a return to form at Wolverhampton having slid down the weights while Pockley is not out of this having won a higher grade sprint here when last racing over 6f. Sir Benedict and Gannon Glory also step back up in distance after placed efforts over the minimum trip.
