IMPORTANT POINT overcame trouble at the start on his debut at Wolverhampton to land the odds with the minimum of fuss. The Godolphin charge is worth sticking with on his return. Fly was unbeaten in three starts last year and landed a double over track and trip. She is another to consider while Franco's Secret should be thereabouts again in this grade. Welliesinthewater is still improving and won at Chelmsford last month but Dutch Law has something to prove off his current mark.
