Verdict

BULLET POINT progressed into a smart handicapper last season and he would have finished a lot closer but for a troubled passage at Newbury in May, so he's well worth another chance. Last year's winner Ebt's Guard is second choice ahead of Ozat, who suffered severe interference at Glorious Goodwood last week.
