A couple of these went close on their latest starts with Whatzupwithme beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton and WIN WIN POWER narrowly beaten over course and distance. The latter has switched yard since landing a double early last year and racing off a 13lb lower mark than when last successful, he gets the nod. Pedestal is not the most consistent but finished runner-up here earlier in the week and is preferred to Luscifer while Agent Of Fortune was due to run at Lingfield yesterday.
