Race Verdict
Venetia Williams has her string in tremendous form at present and PLEIN POUVOIR can provide the Herefordshire handler with yet another winner. The nine-year-old gelding has been knocking hard at the door in better company recently and the form of his second over 3m at Huntingdon last time took a boost with the third, Daldini, winning at Southwell on Wednesday. Two course winners, Bhaltair and It's Like That, could give the top weight most to think about.
Selection: Plein Pouvoir
Danger: Bhaltair
Alternative: It's Like That
