Verdict
The progressive Power Link has already beaten the re-opposing Baby Steps on a couple of occasions though came up just short off today’s mark at Southwell last week and steps up a grade today. Reeves makes more appeal at this level having landed a hat-trick with a victory at Wolverhampton last time and is also preferred to Mohareb, who is penalised for winning a Class 4 contest over track and trip. But FOX POWER (NAP) was having his first outing since April when finishing a close-up fourth at Chelmsford with Librisa Breeze well beaten and Richard Hannon’s colt looks worth another chance with that run under his belt.
