Martin Dixon's Saturday tips: 12-1 chance among three best bets

A fiercely competitive three-year-old sprint handicap and I've no negatives at all with the favourite, Thunder Call, who does look well treated off a mark of 85.

However, at bigger odds - he's 12/1 at the time of writing - I'm keeping faith with Advertised who ran a massive race at Newmarket's Craven meeting and went down then for me as a horse to follow.

He was disappointing next time, but maybe that came too quick for him after a big reappearance effort, whilst he also stumbled early and couldn't get the position he'd have wanted early in the race.

He's been gelded since that last run too, which could trigger a bit more progress, and he also has a good run at York on his record already. 

Since winning a Newbury maiden early last year, Point Of Contact maybe hasn't found the improvement connections would've hoped, but in his defence he's consistently acquitted himself with credit in some very valuable handicaps and with the handicapper beginning to relent he gets a shot at a lower grade contest here.

At last year's Ebor meeting, he was beaten less than a length in the Sky Bet Mile, while returning for the season last month he didn't get the clearest passage in the Hambleton and kept on to be beaten less than three lengths.

Ryan Moore takes the ride and I think the slightly longer trip will suit so I'm confident of a big run in calmer waters.

A success story for John Berry last year when winning two handicaps in good style, Double Meaning appeals to me as the type to have a lot more to offer over staying distances this year.

His comeback run at Newmarket last month certainly indicated that as he was locked up at a crucial stage of the race before powering home too late, ahead of a next-time-out winner in fourth.

A return to a longer trip here should suit, whilst I also think the stiff track and having Tom Marquand in the plate are other positives too.
