Verdict

LUNAR POWER is seemingly not the force of old, but he showed enough behind a younger and far less exposed rival at Kempton last month to be of interest again from his current mark. On The Go is a low-mileage sort who ought to remain competitive, with Ludlow-scorer Of Course You Can also respected.
