        Verdict

        A tough finale can go to Blue Power, who is better than he showed last time and is given another chance to prove himself on turf. The Zieten colt has already accounted for the likes of Icenaslice and Hello Roberto so it could also pay to factor in a small play with Lord Baskerville, who should also be capable of going close in this company and could be good value for the forecast. Sweet Cando is another that is entitled to be thereabouts at the finish as she is sure to being going hell-for-leather to make the most of her current mark. Due to go up 6lb from tomorrow, she has every chance of reversing the form with Jadan, who has a few questions to answer regarding the ground. However, Blue Power has a bundle of experience to draw on and still finds himself on a lenient mark after below-par effort last time. Time may tell that the assessor has made a correctable error in dropping Blue Power 4lb and now may be the time to may the most of his claims at the weights.
