        Verdict

        Largy Nights needs to take a big step forward while the market should tell us all we need to know about the winning pointer Crossing Lines, who has a long absence to overcome. DOM OF MARY, who has won a point and a bumper, made a pleasing start over timber at Newbury and can land this with normal improvement, though Mahon Point looks a danger after a solid first run under Rules in a bumper and Helios De Grugy is bred for jumping.
