Verdict
Galactic Power sprang a surprise at Huntingdon in March but then reverted to type at Bangor and is one to be wary of. KAHDIAN was taking on better opposition at Exeter last time after finishing second at Taunton. He's been difficult to place but so has Billy My Boy, who took a backward step here last month and might be ready for a stiffer test of stamina. Theionlady has shown nothing so far to warrant consideration.
