        Verdict

        A novice winner here, PREMIER POWER (NAP) was headed at the line by Brian The Snail at Kempton on his handicap debut. That was his first start since August and Roger Varian’s colt looks the one to beat in this on slightly better terms with the winner. Brian The Snail had earlier finished behind Aberama Gold in the Ayr Silver Cup back in September and the latter has won twice since including a defeat of Merhoob at Chelmsford while Ryan Moore takes over the reins on Top Breeze, who was placed yet again when second at Wolverhampton. Will To Win returns from an absence though has an impressive strike rate on the all-weather.
