      In depth

      Verdict

      Raphiell has been off the track for a long time and both Ballyoliver and Saint Denis also return from a break, while C'Monthehammers took little interest on his reappearance over fences at Fontwell and was pulled up before completing a circuit. VALID POINT has won both previous starts on this track and, though trying 3m for the first time, didn't appear to be stopping over 2m5f last time and can score again. Manadam won over the trip at Ffos Las last month and was a fair fourth at Newcastle on his latest start. He looks the likely danger.
