Verdict
Almaan has been raised 7lb for winning over track and trip last week but has more scope than Agent Of Fortune, who came up short when favourite at Kempton having earlier won at Lingfield. Jenson Benson has been competing over longer trips since winning over course and distance in October but WIN WIN POWER (NAP) makes most appeal. The latter has switched yards since winning this off a 5lb higher mark last year and a better effort at Wolverhampton last time suggests he’s ready to take advantage of a slide down the weights.
