Verdict

POWER TO IMPRESS (9) resumes from a spell of 15 months after showing ability in a two-start maiden campaign, recording a win and a second at this circuit and distance. Draws wide but has been readied with two trials, winning the latest. DUTY OF CARE (8) has finished runner-up the last two times he has raced here, last week coming from a similar barrier to go under by just a head. Big chance to break through. ALWAYS A SAM (10) broke early when resuming from this barrier here last time so did well to recover for second. Fitter and is a player with manners. BIRDY GAL (2) draws well so must be considered having come from wider for a win and a placing in her last two outings here.
