      Verdict

      Mahanakhon Power is proving a consistent performer at Class 6 level and should make a good fist of things off a workable 4lb higher mark. He'll presumably implement his usual forcing tactics but MYSTIC DRAGON may be able to run him down in receipt of 12lb plus the 5lb allowance of William Humphrey. The selection finished comfortably ahead of the Appleby charge when the pair met over course and distance earlier this month and also produced a reasonable effort here when third just five days ago. Indeed, a likelier threat is Mostaqqer, only beaten a neck the last day at Beverley in a decent race for the grade and a fair sort at this level.
