Verdict
This is not a strong nursery, though several have already shown decent form at this level. Godolphin's Act Of Freedom has been getting closer but is sprint-bred so it's not certain that a step up in distance will suit. Ivor's Magic only won a seller at Newmarket and Kodiac Khan's best run so far came over 5f but Fair Power's last run was in the Super Sprint at Newbury so he should find this easier. SUFFRAGETTE CITY caught a tartar in Goya Girl at Wolverhampton last time but has now proven her stamina and can go one better this afternoon.
