Verdict
This is tricky with the recent winners facing tougher tasks and a couple dropping down in class. I'vegotthepower showed further improvement when scoring at Goodwood and is preferred to Pillar Of Society and Pattie, who won at Windsor and Pontefract respectively on their latest starts. Fujaira Bridge could only manage third in a Class 4 contest last time while Ahlan Bil Zain has been well beaten in better company so far this year. SENIORITY never figured in a much tougher handicap at Newmarket on his reappearance but should finish closer in this grade. The Haggas charge gets another chance today especially if the betting speaks in his favour.
