PHUKET POWER has shown enough in novice company to suggest he can win at this level. First-time headgear may also bring further improvement now handicapping. Robert Guiscard and Pettinger are others making their handicap bow and are worth a second glance while Kayewhykelly was beaten only a short-head at Hamilton on her handicap debut. Danny Ocean was placed at Carlisle recently but is one of the more exposed along with Zingaro Boy and Pentewan.
