Genuine tempo with the speedy Extra Power leading the way. HIGHLAND LAD (4) found better when out to a mile in heavy conditions last start. Up in trip now after three runs back has enough upside to carry the day. AUTUMN HEIR (1) has a good grounding for this type of distance range and comes via a strong looking race last start. Drawn to get every chance. FARRAIGE (3) has been a bridesmaid many times but is proven at this trip and in all conditions. Top three result looks assured. SEPTIMUS (6) continues to be a work in progress but did bat on well to hold his margin late last start. Fitter and meets a limited line up. EXTRA POWER (2) stretches out further in trip third up and has fitness on his side. Genuine chance to improve now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Highland Lad win.
