Racing Post verdict
Third-partyComical Point heads our ratings in a compact 5f handicap, going within half a length of the winner at Windsor last time off a mark 2lb lower than today's. Andrew Balding's strong record in this contest and the booking of Ryan Moore add weight to his claims. Westport is the chief danger — his Ascot handicap debut can be forgiven given the draw, and his earlier wins look solid — while One And Gone, a winner last time at a lower level, will press on and ensure strong fractions. Comical Point is our selection.
