In depth
Verdict
POWER OVER ME has won five of six starts since joining Robyn Brisland’s yard. He returned a convincing winner at Wolverhampton last time and can defy a further rise in the weights. Araifjan came up just short at Newmarket having earlier won over track and trip while Corinthia Knight placed here before struggling at Chester. Ivatheengine faced a more difficult task at Newbury on his reappearance and a tongue-tie is fitted today while Top Breeze has not been at his best so far this year though is back on a winning mark.
