It looked a strong novice event in which expensive purchase DEVIL'S POINT finished a promising fifth on last month's debut at Sandown and, with improvement on the cards, he earns the vote ahead of likely-looking newcomers Castle In The Sand and Going The Distance. The shortlist is completed by Daring Legend, who was gambled on and duly left his debut form well behind when fourth at Kempton and should have more to offer.
