FOX POWER (NAP) was beaten less than a length giving 3lb to the higher rated Via Serendipity in a conditions race here last month. Re-opposing on better terms, Richard Hannon’s grey is fancied to land this trial before heading for the Lincoln. Another Touch has plenty to find with both of the above and Red Bond has been raised 13lb after winning easily at Newcastle. Goring returned to winning ways in this grade at Lingfield and Nonios got the better of Smile A Mile at the same track recently and is preferred to Pinnata. Kasbaan may improve with a tongue-tie fitted today while Lincoln entry Rathbone attempts a mile for the first time.
