Verdict

VALID POINT (2) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 6f here last time. Will relish the added trip and is drawn much kinder. Will be tough to hold out. LAND OF NOD (5) was beaten for speed on debut last start then worked home honestly to finish fifth. Draws to go back again but gets a key switch in Pike. Watch for him trying to round them up late. SO I THOUGHT (7) is a gelding by So You Think out of Mizlecki on debut. Looks ready after placing in a recent Lark Hill trial. A betting push will add to the confidence. UNIMANDO (4) has been thereabouts in his first two starts, exceeding market expectation. Strips fitter and gets the blinkers on. Deserves a lot more respect this time. BELLONA GIRL (8) will be looking to settle closer third-up from a better draw. Keeping safe in wider exotics.
