Moontripper rallied for pressure when third over 2m at Chepstow last week and might be suited by this extra half-mile. Mac Gregory has won a bumper so has some ability while Deadly Move has been placed in both starts since the turn of the year, though only beat one home at Doncaster last time. BALLYPOINT's two failures have come in Grade 2 and Grade 3 races and this looks a good opportunity to open his account based on his narrow defeat at Warwick last month.
