POINT OF CONTACT faces a sterner assignment than for his breakthrough handicap victory at York 3 weeks ago, yet that is form to be positive about (backed up by the timefigure) and, not yet fully exposed, Andrew Balding's charge may be up to defying a 3 lb higher mark again partnered by Ryan Moore. Spoken Truth continues to shape up well in defeat and he's clearly on an exploitable mark. Stem, Cloth of Stars and last year's winner Final Frontier also merit respect.
