Our Power^p³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: S Thomas| OR: 129

7/2

Fairly useful hurdler winner for Nigel Twiston-Davies and shaped better than bare result on yard/chase bow at Kempton on return (likely to have been in mix but for a bad mistake 4 out). Will improve.

Form: 634PP-5

4/1

Made a promising start over fences when beaten under 6 lengths in C&D Grade 3 but beaten in a match back in a handicap at Doncaster next time. Needs to prove his penultimate run was no fluke.

Form: 180-832

4/1

Fairly useful hurdles winner. Mixed record over fences last season but positive start this term, runner-up at Wincanton and Exeter. Respected despite being 4 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Striking A Pose (9/4), Our Power (7/2), Atholl Street (7/2), Jacamar (4/1), Midnight Midge (4/1), Kakamora (11/2)

It was only one bad error at an inopportune time that prevented OUR POWER from being in the mix on yard/chase debut at Kempton on return so he is of interest with that run under his belt. Striking A Pose looked a natural over fences when resuming progress/winning ways at Exeter and is an obvious threat, while progressive-hurdler Kakamora has the profile to make an even better chaser.
