Verdict

Only two of these have run on Turf before but Willyorwon't He has plenty to find to open his account. AERION POWER has not looked back since a fifth at Newbury in September, winning at Wolverhampton the following month and smoothly handling the step up to a mile at Newcastle on his reappearance. He’s gone up another 9lb but is clearly improving at a rate of knots and his rider claims 5lb. Luckiness was progressive on the all-weather last year but lacks a recent run unlike Moraaheq, who is also still heading in the right direction despite defeat at Chelmsford last month when on a hat-trick. Captain Cooper won at Newcastle in January but the handicapper has taken no chances.
