TIGER POWER looked a potentially useful prospect when readily winning on debut earlier this month and he can defy a penalty to make it back-to-back victories. Malachy's Wish was much improved when successful at Ffos Las on his second start and could prove the main danger, although there are a few interesting newcomers who should be noted for support, notably Power for Power who is bred to make an impact as juvenile.
