Point North rattled-up a hat-trick over 5f here before struggling over today’s trip at Haydock. Ordinal failed to cope with a 6lb rise for winning at Musselburgh but Available went close off today’s mark at Doncaster back in May. Kyllukey is now 8lb higher than his earlier course and distance success but Rich Again is best at this venue and back on a winning mark. ROCKET POWER has been thereabouts in both starts in handicaps and has more scope than most of these as drops back in distance. James Tate’s colt gets a tentative vote to land this.
