BLUE POINT looks the one to beat on his return to action. The Godolphin colt is clear of the opposition on these terms having won the Gimcrack at York before only finding one too good in the Middle Park and ending last year with a third behind Churchill in the Dewhurst. Harry Angel should also enjoy a successful year given he won the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury in good style and has plenty of scope while Tis Marvellous landed a Group 2 sprint in France last year before his form tapered off. But Seven Heavens came up short on his reappearance at Newmarket and, like Mokarris, has a bit to find with the selection on last year’s form. Listed winner Sir Dancealot may prove best of the remainder.
