Verdict
POINTS OF VIEW can bounce back to form with Crackentorp and Bencoolen served up as the alternatives. The selection faded out of the Swedish Derby having sat prominently in the early stages but prior to that he looked to have a future on our artifical surfaces after a series of textbook demolitions at short odds. The trip should not be the problem. Crackentorp is very much unexposed. Punted as if defeat were out of the question last time out, he delivered well enough off what was a fairly false gallop. Bencoolen is back in cheekpieces after an experiment with a first time visor proved not to work as anticipated. Sortita appeared to appreciate a step to front running tactics at Doncaster although she won't get the joy of a soft lead here. Ellmau was a smart juvenile and he would have a chance if learning how to settle. Legislation is very interesting as his Great Leighs success represented a step up in terms of the performance. Tomintoul Flyer continues in a visor. Fool's Wildcat has proved a bitter disappointment this term. Many plausible winners in this field and Points Of View secures the vote.
