The speedily-bred Excel Power is the second foal of a mare who produced the useful juvenile Caspian Queen with her first offspring. STYLISH PERFORMER came here for his debut earlier this month and, though never looking likely to catch the winner, stayed on strongly and can go one better. Cuban Dancer was beaten a short-head on his debut here last June but failed to build on that and has been gelded. Emjaytwentythree has progressed with every run and only just failed to hold off Power On over 6f at Lingfield 10 days ago so looks certain to be thereabouts.
