A losing favourite in three of his last four starts, Dunowen Point is becoming frustrating to follow. It could be worth taking him on with TOLEDO GOLD given the latter scored cosily at Hexham last time and a conditional's allowance negates a further 7lb rise in the weights. Nikos Extra failed to cope off a higher mark at Newbury last time having completed a double before that while Big Generator remains 13lb higher than his win at Wexford in June. Oyster Shell is having his first start since May but has stronger form than Un Anjou.
