Verdict

SET POINT stepped up on his previous efforts in this sphere when fourth on his handicap debut at Kilbeggan last month and, with the potential for better again now stepping up in trip, he gets the nod to come out on top. Queenie Newall shaped encouragingly on her comeback over C&D and remains open to improvement, with hat-trick seeker I Don't Get It completing the shortlist.
