Verdict

It is impossible not to be impressed with the progress made by MISS POWER so far this season. Having improved 15lb in the official ratings over just four races, it seems as if she could progress yet further, and if so she may end up defying her latest 1lb rise with relative ease. This is a race that looks easier than her last assignment, when she finished runner-up to a Listed-class filly of Aidan O'Brien's. If does finally hit a ceiling in her improvement then Patrick, who ran a huge race in the Rockingham last time and is raised only 1lb, is preferred next, ahead of the in-form Enter The Red.
