        Verdict

        STANDPOINT arrives in fine fettle having landed a double on the Polytrack at Lingfield. He's taken to defy a penalty given he won off a higher mark at Doncaster last term. The handicapper may have caught up with Highlife Dancer now after he was well beaten at Windsor last week but Golden Jubileee is not out of this upped 5lb for a recent victory at Kempton. Now What finished well ahead of Shirataki when fourth on the Polytrack last time and could prove best of the remainder
