Dubai Power has the form to win this and is given the vote ahead of Erlydors and Orange Pip. The selection has run well on all five of her runs and connections are keen to win a maiden before the possibility to go on and win some conditions races. She is rated higher than most of her rivals here and if putting her best foot forward she will prove difficult to beat. Erlydors did not act around the tight turns of Chester last time out and is better judged on her previous two efforts at Kempton where she finished second twice. She is clearly no world beater but can definitely enter the frame here if showing her true form. Orange Pip is another to note as she has run well to finish second on each of her two races so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Dubai Power.
