It may pay to side with those drawn high in this highly competitive 6f handicap event. Of those CAPTAIN POWER ran well to finish fifth behind today's rival Petitcoatgovernment at Navan over 6f last time out and the selection can record a fifth career success and a second over C&D at the chief expense of that individual here. Of the others drawn high Cenotaph is worthy of consideration despite a poor run last time out while Rapid Applause, drawn in the centre of the track and St Brelades Bay drawn low are others to note in an open looking affair.
