        Verdict

        Montauk Point is interesting for the Meade operation after leaving Jean-Claude Rouget for whom he ran a pleasing second at Deauville in December. Not seen since, he's of obvious interest on debut for new connections and this doesn't rate the strongest of heats on paper. Brian Meehan has exercised great patience in getting Many A Year to the track at the age of four and he makes some appeal on paper, but following the market is probably the best way to go with the son of No Nay Never. Ishani's third of four is hard to assess and it might be worth giving a chance to DUBAI DREAMER. He looked extremely green on his Leicester debut whilst still revealing a touch of promise and should do much better here, including reversing placings with Grigio, a place ahead of him on that occasion.
