TRADING POINT hacked up last week on his fifth career start and first for this trainer. He remains on the right side of the handicapper despite a 6lb penalty as he is due to race off 3lb higher next week. Al Ozzdi is an interesting runner as Simon Crisford rarely ventures up here and Mooltazem has claims on last year's form for John Gosden. His debut for this yard was well below that standard but he would be dangerous if anywhere near his best., whilst support for Mont Royal and Ce La Vie would be noteworthy.
