Garbanzo was a decent stayer on the Flat when trained by Ed Walker and has won a point this year. Shanroe Street blundered and unseated his rider at the first when POINT THE WAY (NAP) accounted for Steely Addition and Takethepunishment at Perth earlier this month. They meet on similar terms today and the placings should be confirmed. Joe Wright’s mount is also preferred to Smoke Man, who has come up short in both tries beyond 3m.
