Forecasts

Mecklenburg (3/1), Boundless Power (4/1), Intervention (4/1), Chanell Eclipse (8/1), Ioronta (10/1), Glorious Hero (10/1), Wonder Elzaam (10/1), Power Over Me (11/1), Yulong Transcend (16/1), Summit Rock (16/1), Abby's Magic (16/1), Briseuse De Coeur (16/1), Baby Bear (25/1), Reckless Lass (33/1), Captured (50/1), Rudrama Devi (66/1), Lady Alcazar (80/1)

BOUNDLESS POWER will look to build on pleasing debut when third of 11 beaten 4¾L over 5f here last month and get off the mark at the second time of asking. It should be noted that jockey Kevin Manning is once again in the plate following his ride on the colt last month, the only time trainer/jockey have joined up in five years. The Mick Halford-trained Meckleburg and Ioronta for trainer John Oxx can emerge as the biggest dangers while the Joseph O'Brien-trained Glorious Hero in first-time tongue tie could be a lively outsider.
