Verdict
COLLECTIVE POWER hasn't been at his best on turf of late, but he's now 3 lb lower than when notching a third C&D success on his latest visit here during the spring and it could be that the return to this track will prompt a return to form. Genesis doesn't boast a particularly compelling strike rate and his current all-weather mark is a stiff one, but he's appealing nonetheless on the back of a solid stable debut third at Naas recently. Little Queenie and Valiant Force are others to consider.
