WIFF WAFF scored over the course and distance in July from 1lb higher and though he hasn't won subsequently he wasn't beaten far at Lingfield last time. Point Zero, three times a winner at Southwell, is 0-6 on Turf though is back on his last winning mark while Grandfather Tom was receiving 10lb when beating Sir Hector 3l at Lingfield in February last year. The latter looks to have the better chance after a reasonable reappearance but Princess Keira won here in September and could provide the main threat if ready after a break.
