Murbih returned to winning ways upped to 6f at Wolverhampton and is penalised while Kraken Power has found one too good on his last three outings over track and trip. He finished just ahead of SIR BENEDICT (NAP) on one of those occasions when the latter found himself trapped against the rail and Stella Barclay’s charge gets another chance with normal luck in-running. Golden Rainbow is preferred of his yard’s three runners while Our Absent Friends has a shout on his reappearance.
