Verdict
Motagally has been raised 7lb for winning at Brighton and Power Link has a 9lb hike to contend with having scored easily at Kempton. Walk On Walter won at Bath recently though had earlier finished behind Watchable when the latter was placed at Chelmsford and David O’Meara’s charge is preferred to Dream Today but stablemate INTISAAB (NAP) makes most appeal. The latter has yet to win this year but has slipped down the weights as a consequence and also drops in class having failed to strike a blow in the Ayr Gold Cup last time. He may prove good enough at this level off his current mark.
