Verdict

STATE OF POWER, a lightly-raced winner in Irish points, is open to plenty of improvement now stepping up in trip with last month's hurdling debut under his belt, so he receives the vote. Hereford-scorer Heezer Geezer promises to be suited by the step up in trip and is highly respected, as is Well Dick, who looked very willing when confirming his hurdling debut promise at Uttoxeter last time.
