POWERALLIED likes some cut in the ground which he had here a fortnight ago. He was having just his fifth run and defied being impeded to win comfortably so a 6lb rise may not stop him completing a double. Sixties Sue has been competing at a high level and has gone well here in the past and she has an inside berth, which should aid her cause, while Riflescope is also well drawn and Mark Johnston's Listed winner will find this easier after running at Group 2 and Listed level in his last two starts. El Astronaute has much more to do than when successful in a Class 4 at Leicester and he's 9lb higher while the penalised Zeeonenadonly may struggle from his wide berth.
