Colin Keane and Billy Lee go head-to-head again on recent course winners CHICA POWER and Beleaguerment. The former made all and just held off track specialist Eglish for his third course victory while the latter went one better when leading on the line over 6f. Maestro Stick finished a couple of lengths behind the former but didn't get the best of runs and it would be no shock to see a form reversal. Indian Raj has dropped to a winnable mark while Jaafel's two runs here in February resulted in narrow defeats.
