Verdict
POINT THE WAY was beaten less than two lengths on his debut under Rules at Market Rasen last month and any improvement on that should make him tough to beat in what looks an ordinary bumper. Malcolm Jefferson does well in this type of race but Storm Forecast looks nothing special on breeding and has an inexperienced amateur on board. Puddle Jumper and Best Of Company may be more interesting newcomers.
