Verdict
HEALING POWER is difficult to oppose. He looked to find the mile trip on the Fibresand at Southwell too far last time but had practically made all over today’s distance at Chelmsford earlier and should prove more than a match for today’s opposition including stablemate Irish Charm. Auld Boy reportedly bled when last of 13 at Wolverhampton last summer while Noble Queen never showed on her debut back in 2018 and has switched yards subsequently.
