Compass Point is penalised for winning on the Fibresand at Southwell though had slipped down the weights and remains on a winning mark. Zayriyan was placed again at Chelmsford still looking for his first win while Brother In Arms will be sharper for a recent comeback at Wolverhampton. PURPLE PADDY faded in the closing stages over track and trip last time but that was his best effort for a while and he gets a speculative vote back on a winning mark having landed a course and distance double last year.
