It was fast ground when the locally-trained Findusatgorcombe won at Fontwell in August and he hasn’t shown much since. POINT N SHOOT only found one too good over course and distance last week and races off the same mark. Tom Buckley again takes off 10lb and he can come out on top this time. Tara Well will probably be thereabouts again under regular partner James Nixon but Dropzone is best watched after a lay-off and Fearsome Fred turned in a below-par performance at Taunton last month.
