In depth
Verdict
Noman won at Wolverhampton in 2020 and scored over a longer trip at Ayr on his only start of last year. He’s been gelded since and could figure but FOX POWER (NAP) made a winning debut for Mick Appleby’s yard when successful at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. He’s raised 3lb but drops down in class and can go in again. Coase has been winning on the Polytrack and is back down in trip while Lammas landed a double on this surface at Southwell before beaten at Kempton when finishing behind third-placed Year Of The Dragon.
