KANGAROO POINT failed in a bid for a four-timer when last in action in April. Given a break since, his earlier hat-trick included a course and distance success and he gets a change of headgear on his return. Be My Sea has been thereabouts over today’s trip at Goodwood while Potenza won over 1m4f at Chester two runs ago and has placed over hurdles. Mack The Knife will appreciate this return to the all-weather and is upped in distance while Atomic Jack landed a bumper on the Polytrack at Lingfield early in the year.
