In depth

Verdict

ECHO POINT made a winning debut at Kempton a year ago but hasn't run since second of three at Newmarket in May. He'll be tuned up for this moderate contest and looks the one to beat. Al Madhar won first time out in 2019 and a year later but hasn't made the expected progress while Ripon winner Dubawi Sands never got involved on his debut here last month though can be expected to do better. Mystery Land has won over a mile here from 1lb higher and has an apprentices' claim to aid his cause but Ghost Of The Mambo hasn't run since runner-up in the USA in May.
