      Verdict

      POINT THE WAY is the best of these over hurdles by quite some way. He hasn’t raced since March but should still be good enough in this company if taking to the larger obstacles on his return. Westend Theatre was placed at Hexham earlier this year and is is rated higher over fence than Here Comes Love but both have plenty to find on these terms with the chasing newcomers Robintheaulad and An Laoch with the former preferred of that pair.
