Verdict
Stormy Girl, a Listed winner at Pontefract for Rebecca Menzies, went for 310,000gns at the December sales but hasn't made her debut for Paddy Twomey yet. Twilight Spinner landed a Haydock Listed race on heavy going for David O'Meara in May and makes her debut for new connections while Measure Of Magic has been racing at a very high level since completing a Listed double in the spring. Power Under Me has now been placed in three successive Group races while Speak In Colours won this back in 2019. ART POWER's last victory was at this level when sent to Naas last summer. He's been competing at the highest level and rarely beaten far so looks to have the edge.
