It took recent course and distance winner Cahar Fad 18 attempts to get his head in front but he landed a gamble with a bit to spare and should go well again. Champagne Bob also opened his account at Salisbury last time when scoring in soft ground over 7f but it could be the turn of SCENT OF POWER in this as she finished second over 1m2f at Leicester last time and Rob Hornby's allowance further helps her cause. Rockwood won at Beverley in August but remains 5lb higher but The Way You Dance and My Mistress have both plummeted down the weights and could bounce back at any time.
