In depth

Verdict

POINT ZERO should finally get his head in front today. Juts beaten on his first run for Mick Appleby at Redcar, the Irish import was only beaten half-a-length dropped to this trip here last time and he looks a better bet than Dream For Life, who has finished last on both starts on the all-weather. National Anthem is having a first run in more than a year and making his debut for a new yard while Fink Hill is now 0-11 after his fourth at Chelmsford. Mystical Moon is going backwards but Poeta Brasileiro may have a bit of scope.
