Verdict
Mark Johnston sent out last year's winner but Powderhorn is upped 6lb for winning at Chester last week. SUN'AQ lost her unbeaten record when failing to land the odds in a muddling three-runner affair at Kempton. But she drops down a grade for this and can return to winning ways. Quick N Quirky has also been competing in tougher races and can figure ahead of last month's course runner-up Mon Beau Visage while Awohaam looks best of the remainder on her earlier fourth at Newmarket.
