9/1 and hooded, again looked a long way off his French form for Andre Fabre when fifth of 6 in handicap at this C&D on UK debut 6 weeks ago. Needs more.

4/1
2 wins from 5 runs this year. Ran well after 7 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1) 38 days ago, well positioned. Can build on that here.

13/8
Didn't need to improve when winning 5-runner handicap (evens) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 16 days ago, value for a bit extra in a tactical affair. Nudged up 2 lb and looks sure to go well again.

6/4
C&D winner. 5/1, unlucky to bump into a smart performer when second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW). Off 6 months. Can have a say in proceedings if ready to roll.

20/1
Latest win at Newcastle in August. Shaped better than the bare result when sixth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (11/1) 14 days ago, badly hampered over 1f out. This tougher however.

Forecasts

High Commissioner (6/4), Sky Power (13/8), Byford (4/1), Influencer (14/1), Athmad (20/1)

Verdict

SKY POWER was value for a bit extra than the 1¼-length winning margin at Lingfield 16 days ago, having to come around the field and ultimately winning with a bit up his sleeve. Nudged up just 2 lb for that success, Ralph Beckett's charge gets the vote to follow up. High Commissioner was unlucky to bump into a now smart performer when last seen so he's feared most on return, ahead of Byford.
