Verdict

Fair Power is fitted with headgear attempting to end a long losing run after placing at Brighton behind the runner-up Sandy Steve. The latter represents last year’s winning yard and has decent claims but a chance is taken on RAINBOW JAZZ. The latter hinted at a return to form when fourth over course and distance last time and may prove good enough given he was scoring off a 10lb higher mark here last autumn. Dreamingofdiamonds steps up from 7f for her handicap debut while Red Archangel was due to run at Yarmouth yesterday and has a bit to find with the selection if taking part.
