STANDPOINT is a winner without a penalty having completed a hat-trick when successful in an apprentices' race at Newbury during the week. Conor Dore's charge can rattle up a four-timer by taking this. Breaking The Bank won a claimer at Windsor last time and should be thereabouts along with recent Polytrack winner Hector's Chance but Breakheart has a bit more to find off his current mark after running into a place again at Haydock. Sondeduro has tumbled down the weights but has yet show any benefit for it.
