It’s more than four years since Galactic Power last got his head in front while Zee Man is now 0-10 over timber. Fine By Her finished ahead of ALWAYS ABLE at Hereford last month but the latter has since produced an improved performance at the same track – he may turn the tables today on better terms. That Ole Chestnut could also go well and Newcastle third Barrakhov would have strong claims if handling the quicker going.
