Formscan - There are a few with chances, including the hat-trick seeking Damascus Steel, who continues to be overlooked in the market. Melek Alreeh, Jodhpur Blue and Robusto all arrive on the back of narrow defeats, but CARDINAL POINT is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. Michael Bell's filly had started to become a little frustrating but regained the winning thread over C&D in fine style and, having snapped that run of seconds, she could kick on.
