Atlantic Cycle had Bond Blade behind when fourth over track and trip on her penultimate start and could figure once again, but GRIFFIN POINT makes more appeal. She won here in September and was beaten only a head at Kempton last week off today's mark. This looks less competitive and William Muir's filly gets the nod. Perlachy has gone up 4lb for his recent C&D victory, but has won off a higher mark before and should go close, while Howyadoingnotsobad finished just ahead of Dorothy's Dancing at Kempton last time and looks a threat.
