This is a cracking handicap and while HEAVENLY POWER is more exposed than most of these, he was an excellent second over C&D 3 weeks ago and a 2 lb higher mark may well be within range for this battle-hardened performer. Ohailbhic shaped really well behind Power Mode at Naas and is fancied to come out of that battle on top, with Tango Flare also of interest.
