Flagrant Delitiep (6/4), Ofalltheginjoints (9/4), Switch Hitter (10/3), Musical Slave (7/2), Powerstown Park (4/1), Notachance (13/2), Larry (10/1)

POWERSTOWN PARK has much improved since upped to this sort of trip, winning 2 of his last 3 starts, and the manner of his win at Hereford 6 weeks ago suggests a 6 lb rise isn't insurmountable. Ofalltheginjoints was beaten only by a subsequent winner when back to form at Kempton and is potentially on a good mark, while the unexposed Switch Hitter will be suited by the return to 3m.
