Verdict
STAR POWER was only fifth when starting joint favourite over this trip at Punchestown earlier in the month but he wasn't beaten far and had finished second on his hurdling debut over 3m at the same track. He might be worth another chance though useful pointer Marmaladeskies is interesting and If Not For You has already won a point-to-point and a bumper.
