Verdict

Having dropped a long way in the weights, ROACH POWER has been suited by being ridden positively back at 5f on his last 2 starts, making it back-to-back wins with a comfortable success at this C&D last time. He can make a bold bid for the hat-trick, though fellow C&D winner All Ways Glamorous also arrives in top form and is feared most, ahead of Woohoo.

Ran up to best when third at Windsor in June and soon left behind a lesser effort sixth of 13 in Racing League event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft, 7/1) 2 weeks ago. More needed, though, if he's to gain a first handicap success.

Doubled her tally at Down Royal in June and, in first-time visor, shaped as if still in good form when tenth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (5f, soft, 9/1) 18 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Could be in the mix.
