Battle Point finished well ahead of Pacopash and Suanni when scoring over track and trip though was earlier beaten at Wolverhampton by Therehegoes. The latter subsequently found PERFECT SYMPHONY too good over course and distance and Mark Pattinson’s charge gets the vote to defy a penalty on that line of form. Grandfather Tom failed to win last year but will be sharper for a recent reappearance.
