Win Win Power has won both starts since being gelded and is penalised debuting on this surface. But he beat subsequent course and distance winner Cheat easily enough at Chelmsford earlier and the latter finished well ahead of False Id here last week. HOTSPUR HARRY is creeping closer and wasn’t beaten far when fourth in a higher grade contest over track and trip. Both the second and third have gone on to win and Robert Eddery’s charge gets the vote on that form. Greek Kodiac placed over 7f here last month while Straitouttacompton has the past form if rediscovering his best.
