Not much strength in depth here and this looks a good opportunity for Royal Power to get off the mark. Daedal is interesting newcomer to note in the betting, while Madam Moschata is expected to be suited by the step up in trip and could be good value for anyone considering a forecast option. The Linda Ramsden-trained filly is a well-bred type that can be found a race somewhere along the line once she goes into handicaps. Blushing Hilary is also worth a mention, as she completely missed the break on her debut but is expected to be sharper this time around. She too is bred to appreciate a test of stamina and it would be no surprise to see her attract interest from the shrewdies in attendance at Thirsk. However, Royal Power sets an obvious standard on what he has shown so far and this half-brother to the useful Flipando is given another throw of the dice in this company.
