In depth
Verdict
Stagnite is the obvious form choice but he has been given too many chances and is passed over here. The TEAMtalk nod goes to Sir Mark Prescott's On Point who ran well in defeat last time out at Wolverhampton. He has a bit to find with Inching but on this quicker surface he should have his measure. Dunhill Star is beautifully bred and his half-brothers have handled this surface however he is the type who needs further and is one to watch rather than back here. The same can be said about his stablemate Arthur Pendragon. It's All Eurs ran better last time out than on his debut and has improvement in her while Wing West, Abaninetoes and Jane's Valentine make little appeal on breeding.
