Fair Power and Oisin Murphy are respected having landed a C&D selling handicap 15 days, backing up another good effort here. The gelding remains on a good mark based on his old form and cannot be underestimated. For a bit of value, it might be worth siding with PICTURE POET, runner up over C&D in May behind an easy winner and tried over different trips in both runs since. He's back from a short break now and could go well. Reddiac and dual C&D winner Hard Toffee also go on the shortlist.
