Verdict

Winner on this surface back in July off a 1lb lower mark, POWER DRIVE can put two recent defeats on the AW at Dundalk and land the spoils here back on turf, seeing off the attentions of Liffeydale Dreamer, on stable debut, Lizard Point who has conditions to suit and the Tony Martin-trained Acclamatio, who could require scrutiny should any market move occur.
  1. Power Drive
  2. Liffeydale Dreamer
  3. Acclamatio
