In depth

Verdict

PONTIUS (NAP) missed the whole of last year and has gone close on a couple of occasions already this year including at Wolverhampton last week. Charlie Hills’ charge looks set to open his account and is preferred to Street Poet, who has been beaten off today’s higher mark in three outings since scoring here in May. Dors Toyboy popped-up at Lingfield in June while Twentysharesofgrey won over a shorter trip at Southwell earlier in the year and Dawahy will do better when tackling further.
