Made no impression, finishing fifth, despite being sent off favourite last month; has kicked on in her last couple of races; first-time blinkers; no surprise to see her go well.

Verdict
This is not a race for maximum stakes - Jawbreaker should be in the hunt while Mrs Stormiatrix poses a serious threat to the tip. However, POWER OF TIGER is the selection. She looks open to improvement in first-time blinkers and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort.
