Verdict

A tough early-season handicap to get a handle on but the assessor has taken a big chance with TIGER POWER's opening mark given the impression he created when winning at Southwell in February. He's therefore the call, though plenty of these have the potential to do better at 3 yrs, notably Darn Hot Gallop and Blue Courvoisier.

3	Won readily on debut over 7f at Haydock last September and looked a useful colt in the making when outclassing 11 rivals under a penalty at Southwell in February (1m).

5	Overcame signs of greenness to make a winning start at Wolverhampton (7.2f) in November and improved when defying a penalty at Newcastle 3 weeks later. Very much the type to improve again as a 3-y-o, particularly as her stamina is drawn out. 2nd Pick 5 Darn Hot Gallop Jockey: Hector Crouch Trainer: James Tate J: Hector Crouch T: James Tate	93	-	-	-	5%

7	Well prepared to make a winning debut over 7f at Leicester in September. That race didn't really work out but he cemented a solid start to his career when runner-up over this trip a Bath 3 weeks later. More to come. 3rd Pick 7 Blue Courvoisier Jockey: Rossa Ryan Trainer: Clive Cox J: Rossa Ryan T: Clive Cox	90	-	-	-	17%
