Verdict
Narrowly beaten in three of his four starts for Mick Appleby, the return to 7f and a switch to Tapeta can finally see POINT ZERO open his account at the main expanse of Irish raider Captain Dan. The latter hasn’t been disgraced in two runs at Dundalk over 1m and 6f so this trip might suit. Bond Street Beau was third at Lingfield but hasn’t raced since, though it’s difficult to make a case for many of the remainder.
