Verdict

Count Otto was in good form early last year and won this sprint but is struggling at present. Puerto De Vega held on to beat Impeach a neck over track and trip last month and the latter had earlier beaten Swiss Pride when scoring here. But a change of scenery may have rejuvenated JACK’S POINT (NAP) as he went close at Southwell on his first outing for Tony Carroll’s yard and looks to have fallen far enough down the weights to get his head back in front. Firepower drops down from 7f while Night On Earth steps up from the minimum trip and Twilight Heir is back on a winning mark.
