      Verdict

      WINDFORPOWER was beaten only a nose here last week and notched-up a course and distance double at the turn of the year beating Little Kingdom and Star Cracker in the process. He also won this last year and looks set to make another bold bid. Hisar has been thereabouts at Southwell recently and won at Wolverhampton earlier while Hadley just missed out over 6f here last month. Not much separated Spirit Of Wedza and Berlios at Wolverhampton last time and both are back on a winning mark.
