Metronomic is penalised for winning at Kempton last week and it could be the turn of POWER POWER (NAP) today as he went close at Kempton on last month’s handicap debut when headed right on the line. Paddy A was fourth behind the selection on his reappearance but Buskin River was runner-up at Windsor when last in action back in September and has a shout on that form.
