      Verdict

      THAI POWER showed further progress when runner-up over course and distance in Class 3 company last time with Camouflaged well beaten. Andrew Balding’s charge can go one better in this lower grade. Gibraltar and Bealach look no nearer winning at present but the remaining pair have plenty of scope with Raventree beaten only a neck at Lingfield and Immortal Beloved just missing out at Haydock and both go handicapping for the first time.
