Recent course novice winner GOLDEN POINT has the potential for better again now handicapping over a trip which looks sure to suit. Topkapi Star will be a danger if the cheekpieces work as well a second time, while Nick Alexander's Half Track was a little out of his pay grade in a 0-130 at Haydock last time and had been a good second at Carlisle prior to that.

    Well handicapped on best form and took a firm step back in the right direction when second at Carlisle (19f) in December. Respectable fourth in a 0-130 at Haydock (3m) since and this is more his level. Respected under Hughes.

    Verdict
    Bounced back from an abysmal effort here at the turn of the year when scoring in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over 21.5f here 3 weeks ago. A 7 lb rise is fair if the headgear continues to have a positive effect.

    Point winner who was third in a 19f Cork bumper for John Gleeson and showed a bit in maiden/novice hurdles towards the end of 2024. Made a very disappointing start to his handicap career at Uttoxeter just before Christmas but it remains early days.
