Roger Varian’s yard remains in top form and LOVE TROPHY POWER can make a winning handicap debut. She showed plenty of early pace when landing a novices race at Windsor and should have no problem with this shorter trip. Meganseigthteen placed at Windsor last time and an apprentice’s allowance helps her cause while Manettino slips further down the weights and is fitted with a combination of headgear for this.
