DESERT POINT landed the odds with the minimum of fuss at Sedgefield last week, and despite dropping back in trip (shouldn't trouble) is fancied to register a quickfire hat-trick for Keith Dalgleish, Straightline Bloodstock and Brian Hughes. However, he does carry a 7lb penalty for that success in a race where the opposition is a shade stronger, so he's likely to have to work harder on this occasion. The inexperienced
Prancing Oscar is also turned out swiftly after winning at Fontwell, so a safer option for the forecast could be the Dr Richard Newland-trained seven-year-old
Capitoul who has rediscovered a spark in selling races.
