POWERFUL WIND bounced back to form with a victory over course and distance earlier this month. Daryl Byrne's claim reduces a 9lb rise in the weights but he's won off higher marks in the past and gets the vote to follow-up. Shawkantango makes a quick reappearance having won a claimer here on Friday beating Monnoyer and Jiminy in the process. He'd also beaten I'll Be Good at Wolverhampton earlier but both Thorpe Bay and Sir Geoffrey face tougher tasks having won a lower grade contests over track and trip last time.
