Verdict

Tension Point gets the vote here with Really Naughty and Marquee rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Soliya last time out when the ground was softer than ideal for him. This faster ground will suit and with his yard continuing in good form he looks the one to be on. Really Naughty rates the main danger as he has won at up to seven furlongs on the flat. His yard are in top form and if his stamina lasts out he will not be far away so he should be watched in the market. Marquee showed a modicum of ability on his debut but he was well behind Tension Point then and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Of the remainder, Strikeen is a rare runner over hurdles for Terry Mills and he should be watched in the market but stamina may be an issue. Tension Point sets a fair standard though and he looks the one to be on.
