Verdict

POWERALLIED is a three-time course winner who makes plenty of appeal from a nice draw (4) in the opener on the card and his trainer Richard Fahey won this for the same owners in 2015. A Momentofmadness is another who has drawn well with the inside berth and Charlie Hills' charge was seen breaking the track record at Kempton two starts back; the gelding can be forgiven his latest effort. Boundsy has his work cut out from his stall (13) but can't be dismissed given his course record.
