Theobald landed a double at the track early in the year but hasn’t raced since March but Trading Point scored here last month on his first outing on the all-weather, though by only a head from Mutadaawel. The latter subsequently finished nearly three lengths behind KAFU (NAP) over track and trip last week and Ger Lyons’ charge looks capable of going in again on that form. There was little between fourth-placed Sirjack Thomas and Katiymann over 7f here last time while Highly Approved went close over 6f at the track in September but has been raised a further 5lb for that.
