Having only tasted defeat at this track once in five starts we opt to give STREET POWER the call in this handicap ahead of Avertor and Fathsta. The pick only found subsequent dual winner in Jaconet too good off this mark before not acting at Wolverhampton on his final start of last season. This is definitely his track and we are expecting a big run now he returns to this venue. Avertor was last of four in his first handicap run last time but after just three starts and with an impressive win in a maiden it's too early to write him off. Fathsta is a tricky character so while he isn't one to trust fully he is a real threat if on song off this mark. We Have A Dream will have every help from the saddle from an in-form jock and he still looks well weighted on his return after a good run at Doncaster on his last start of last season. Orpenindeed is more than capable on a going day but with an impressive course record we prefer Street Power.
