Vibrant Chords is expected to improve for last month’s comeback run at Newmarket and Gamesome ran well at Beverley on his reappearance. A Momentofmadness made a winning return at Kempton with Just That Lord not far behind but is upped 4lb and Kasbah won on the Polytrack back in January and can race off a lower mark on this surface. Stepper Point landed a lower grade sprint at Windsor last month beating Waseem Faris with DARK SHOT (NAP) back in fourth. But that was latter’s first start since September when winning in this grade at Ascot and he should make a bold bid with an apprentice’s 7lb allowance further helping his cause.
