FormscanBy Alan Magee - POWER DRIVE made most when providing Ciara Flynn with her first winner over course and distance back in November and the Medicean gelding, trained by her father Paul, has run well on both outings since over longer trips. His penultimate run can be marked up having banged his head before leaving the stalls, and this drop back in trip should suit. Fox Leicester held a career high rating of 89 as a three-year-old with Andrew Balding and has steadily found his level with the addition of blinkers since joining Denis Hogan this winter. Ertikaaz had a couple of these rivals behind when making a bright start for new connections here a fortnight ago. Complete Fiction was runner-up to Pro Bono here in November but has failed to reproduce that in two outings since.
