      Verdict

      One for the point-to-point purist and all have claims. There's nothing to choose between Tekap and The Bonny Boy, separated by just a neck earlier this month and there was also only a length and a half between Fiddler Of Dooney and The Bonny Boy last month too. Much may depend on how they take to regulation fences but we'll look elsewhere and row in with GATS AND CO, in good form this spring and one who should be suited by this intermediate trip. He's also open to greater progress than his rivals after just seven career starts. Pillowman, winner of his last two outings between the flags, appears on the upgrade and is seen as the main danger.
