Won a point-to-point over 3m but hurdles form was only modest. Possible reverting to fences will bring about some improvement but looks a risky option on balance just now.
Yard strongly represented here today and this looks another piece of good placement. The gelding has some fair form to his name over hurdles and won't need to better that by much to brush the majority aside. Big chance.
Stamina shouldn't be an issue and looks the best of Point The Way's opponents on hurdles form. Quite possible switching to fences will bring some improvement out of him but he needs everything to go his way.
Best effort over fences when second at Hexham last march. Not achieved anything of note since and hard to see him being good enough if the two leading players hit the ground running.
Forecasts
Point The Way (1/5), Robintheaulad (4/1), Westend Theatre (20/1), An Laoch (25/1), Here Comes Love (66/1)
The official rating (and hurdles form in the book) suggest that POINT THE WAY has a straightforward task if he adapts to chasing. Robintheaulad is best of the rest on form but Westend Theatre doesn't have too much to find and could be a more adventurous option to consider for the forecast.
