No winning form to consider but three of these went close on their latest outings. Rochford returned a losing favourite when runner-up over 7f at Newcastle while Disarming was beaten less than a length over track and trip on her handicap debut. But TODAY POWER failed to catch the winner by only a short-head at Chepstow last time and the Hannon colt gets the vote off his current mark. Bacchalot and Souter Johnnie may prove best of the remainder on the back of recent placed efforts though neither failed to threaten.
