Sir Michael Stoute has not got into top gear this season but STANDPOINT can get him back among the winners ahead of Kasaa Ed and Reject. The selection ran three times as a two year old improving with each run. He ran second to Bold Tie on his final outing and with a winter on his back he looks well capable of breaking his maiden tag first time of asking this season. Kasaa Ed ran disappointingly on his return at Pontefract last time out when sent off favourite. She does have questions to answer now but if putting her best foot forward she has place claims. Of the newcomers Reject makes the most appeal on breeding being by Green Desert. Willie Haggas has a good record with his debutants so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to Standpoint.
