Verdict

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.

  1. HEAVENLY POWER (IRE)
  2. POWER MODE (USA)
  3. OHAILBHIC (IRE)
