FormscanBy Gary Carson - MYSTICAL POWER can turn the tables on Cheltenham conqueror Slade Steel on what should be less testing ground. Annie Power's son wasn't doing a lot in front and was value for a bit more than his winning margin at Aintree, when beating Firefox by half a length. The deep ground looked to take a toll late on at Cheltenham but he handles it soft as he showed last time. Slade Steel obviously commands plenty of respect and was a good winner of the Supreme Novices. His stamina may have been the difference when the pair met last time. Firefox has been held by the aforementioned pair on his last couple of outings but is sure to be thereabouts again.
A novice hurdle for five years old and upwards
