Verdict
This trip is the absolute minimum for Point The Way and he has 8lb more to carry than when successful 12 months ago. Shanroe Street is definitely in the veteran stage now and Takethepunishment is also a 12-year-old, though bolted up making a belated debut under Rules at Kelso. STEELY ADDITION lost his way last year but a spell hunting has transformed the former Philip Hobbs-trained stayer and he receives weight from his four rivals in this.
