Verdict
Course regular FLYING POWER looks up to landing a poor contest. He drops back down in class for this and went close over 1m4f here on his penultimate start with Den Maschine well beaten. Maiden winner Certification never figured in a handicap last time while Angus Glens has been well beaten since scoring at the track in December off an 8lb lower mark. Gabrial The Duke is another struggling off higher marks since winning at Southwell last month.
