September Power won over a longer trip here last week while Militry Decoration, First Charge and Sharp Distinction have all been in the mix over 2m lately. But YAGAN scored over track and trip before finding only the progressive Vaynor too good back here and Sir Mark Prescott’s charge gets another chance in this company. Prince Abu also won over course and distance recently but has a bit to find with the selection on collateral form while Typewritten has been in decent form over 1m4f and looks best of the rest.
