Verdict

FLYING POWER went close on the all-weather last month and scored twice on the Turf last year. Jack Garritty's claim could swing things his way in this. Rex Whistler has just the one win at Wolverhampton to his name in 17 starts and remains 4lb higher but Pressure Point has a shout on September's victory at Musselburgh. Carlisle winner Mendelita may be capable of better this year and Paddy's Rock landed a couple of lower grade handicaps last season.
