Point Of Contact
POINT OF CONTACT faces a sterner assignment than for his breakthrough handicap victory at York 3 weeks ago, yet that is form to be positive about (backed up by the timefigure) and, not yet fully exposed, Andrew Balding's charge may be up to defying a 3 lb higher mark again partnered by Ryan Moore. Spoken Truth continues to shape up well in defeat and he's clearly on an exploitable mark. Stem, Cloth of Stars and last year's winner Final Frontier also merit respect.

Not long with new connections and he continues to shape well, catching the eye when third at Epsom on penultimate start and unlucky to bump into an unexposed handicap debutant at Nottingham 2 weeks ago. Clearly on an exploitable mark and interesting with Oisin Murphy booked.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNottingham1m 2f 50yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat2/6Epsom Downs1m 2f 17yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat3/16Redcar1m 2f 1yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat2/10Ripon1m 1f 170yGood to SoftFlat2/10Doncaster1m 2f 43yGood to SoftFlat4/12- 7(1)Point Of ContactJ: Ryan MooreT: Andrew Balding4656-61Age 47/27/210/3

Newbury maiden winner (at 1m) who showed benefit of reappearance run eased markedly in class when making breakthrough in handicaps at York (9f) 3 weeks ago, showing a good attitude. Goes back up in grade now but he's in excellent hands and could yet have more to offer up further in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork1m 177yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/16York7f 192yGoodFlat6/18Doncaster1mGood (Good to Soft in places)Flat6/14York7f 192yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat5/17Goodwood1mHeavyFlat6/15- 3(4)Flying FrontierJ: Rossa RyanT: James Tate/919-84Age 64/15/19/2

Low-mileage 6-y-o who registered a second C&D victory when taking this race from 1 lb higher 12 months ago. Lightly raced since, setting himself up nicely for a repeat bid when fourth in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1¼m) 6 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosRedcar1m 2f 1yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat4/10Pontefract1m 2f 5yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat8/8Sandown Park1m 1f 209ySoftFlat9/12Sandown Park1m 1f 209yGood to Firm (Firm in places)Flat1/8York1m 2f 56yGood to Firm (Good in places)Flat9/13- 2(10)RathgarJ: Callum RodriguezT: Jack Channon00-4119Age 64/14/19/2

Straightforward type who doubled his tally for the season when landing City & Suburban Handicap at Epsom in April. That form has been very well advertised and he again ran with credit when ninth at York (10.3f) 3 weeks ago. Revised mark does leave him vulnerable from a win perspective, however.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosYork1m 2f 56yGoodFlat9/16Epsom Downs1m 2f 17yGoodFlat1/6Newbury1m 2fGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat1/14Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat4/13Yarmouth1m 2f 23ySoftFlat10/13- 8(6)StemJ: Pat DobbsT: Richard Hannon022-904Age 48/18/19/1

Has some strong form to his name and having had excuses at Epsom on his penultimate start he took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Newmarket (1m) 2 weeks ago. Went about it in rather laboured fashion though, and possible he's best with give underfoot.

Lightly raced 4-y-o who had clearly derived plenty from his York reappearance effort when posting a good second at Newcastle (1¼m) 9 days ago, doing well to get amongst those who sat at the head of affairs.

Made up into a useful sort last year but operating from a much higher mark now and he's not figured either start in handicaps at Chester/Epsom (tried in cheekpieces) in recent months.

Looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts in spring 2024. Well held subsequently that year but took his form up a notch on both starts last season, latterly second of 11 at Newbury (1¼m, soft) in September. Left John & Thady Gosden (58,000 gns) following month and off since.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury1m 2fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Flat2/11York1m 2f 56yGoodFlat4/12Doncaster1m 2f 43yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat10/10Hamilton Park1m 4f 15yHeavy (Soft in places)Flat10/13Ascot1m 3f 211yGood to FirmFlat11/14- 5(2)Brasil PowerJ: Megan SmithT: George Boughey4416090Age 750/133/140/1

Thrived on a busy winter schedule, adding another all-weather success to his tally over further at Wolverhampton in March. Has essentially struggled in some top end handicaps over a variety of trips more recently and the assessor is proving slow to cut him much slack.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot7fGood to FirmFlat19/28Newmarket (rowley)1m 6fGood to FirmFlat9/12Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat10/14Kempton Park1m 7f 218yStandard / SlowFlat6/9Wolverhampton1m 6fStandardFlat1/5- Non-Runners

Successful 4 times during the all-weather campaign and ran better than for a while on turf when fifth of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f) 7 days ago. Visor goes back on in place of blinkers but he didn't really suggest his turn was near last week and this looks more competitive.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor1m 3f 99yGood to FirmFlat5/7Epsom Downs1m 2f 17yGood to Soft (Good in places)Flat16/16York1m 3f 188yGood (Good to Firm in places)Flat10/10Newcastle1m 2f 42yStandardFlat14/14Kempton Park1m 2f 219yStandard / SlowFlat8/13
