Verdict

BOSS POWER won over 1m6f here last autumn and returns to action having been gelded subsequently. Sir Michael Stoute’s charge has plenty of scope and can make a winning reappearance. Brasca has been off the track even longer having also scored over 1m6f back in 2019 while Songkran won over 1m2f at Newcastle more recently and stays this far. Singing The Blues ended last year with a below par effort here and should improve for today’s outing.
