Verdict
Power Of States will be sharper for last month’s outing at Chelmsford and could go well but HEADINGLEY (NAP) gets another chance. The latter failed to prevent United Front landing a double at Chelmsford last time but would have finished closer with a clear run and will also appreciate the return to this longer trip. Cap Francais is on a winning mark if back to his best and is preferred to Newcastle winner Alexander James at this level while Dark Pine has been off the track since July and Clap Your Hands returns from an even lengthier absence.
