Looks Like Power was fourth off this mark at Wincanton after getting off the mark at Ffos Las and must have every chance in a modest finale. MARTABOT and Mister Big were both late casualties in their respective races last time at Lingfield and over a longer trip here. The former was chasing the winner and still had every chance when slipping up and compensation awaits with the in-form Harry Reed doing the steering. Wistari Rocks won twice at Uttoxeter in the autumn but was tailed off on his latest start at Huntingdon in December and hasn’t been seen since. Jigsaw Financial hasn’t raced since November and could find the going too testing.
