Verdict

The consistent Bishopstone Man has been done no favours by the raising of the weights, while at the bottom of the handicap Theatre Lady is thoroughly exposed as moderate, but one who has his career ahead of him is Harrison Point, who will surely turn out to be better than his current handicap mark of 72 would suggest. He made hard work of beating his well-backed stablemate at Windsor, but he is entitled to improve and he starts his handicapping career off on a favourable mark. Bishopstone Man has been a wonderful servant for connections, but he is on a career high mark here and will need to find more if he is too add to his three previous wins. Theatre Lady is as tough as old boots and finally managed to get her head in front at the 46th attempt last time. Just 1lb higher here, she looks set to go well. Hurricane Coast has dropped 11lbs in his last four outings, but will need to put in more than he has done of late, even at this level, while Sharp Secret, who was attempting to follow up her win at Yarmouth, didn't have the best of runs at Newmarket last time and off the same mark here, must go close. Magic Amour was allowed a soft lead at Folkestone and a 6lbs rise in the weights looks enough to take care of him, so Harrison Point is given the vote in the hope that he is open to more improvement than his rivals.
