      Verdict

      Fox Tal edges this at the weights and won a conditions race at Wolverhampton at this time last year. But he returns from a lengthy absence and EXCEL POWER (NAP) is preferred. Archie Watson’s charge won one of these events at Chelmsford before going close again at Wolverhampton last month and had the measure of Intuitive on both occasions. The latter should be in the mix once again but the remainder have a bit to find at the weights with Chichester arriving in better form than both Power Of States and Abolish.
