Verdict

The usual suspects line up for this including WINDFORPOWER, who scored over track and trip last month with Novabridge back in fourth. The latter has subsequently won here when Little Kingdom was third and Kirkby's Phantom well beaten. Star Cracker won over 6f at the track last month while Eternalist has been placed off similar marks recently and Kingstreet Lady went close at Chepstow in September when last in action.
