BULLET POINT (9) won over 1m at Newcastle just three days ago. With trainer William Haggas and assuming he handles soft ground back on turf could take some beating under the 7lb penalty. ON THE RIVER (8) maintains an excellent strike rate. In these conditions take seriously racing off the same mark as when winning an apprentice handicap at York a week ago. Three-time course and distance winner PEARL EYE (4) may get involved after a pleasing sixth-place finish in a decent 6f handicap at Ascot. Irish challenger FIREBRAND (6) is not to be ignored following a victory tackling 1m2 1/2f at Roscommon.
