Race preview

POINT GELLIBRAND was taken out on Tuesday because of the ground and looks a big player here. He was narrowly denied in a strong maiden won by subsequent Group 2 scorer Atomic Jones at the Curragh on his debut last June and only had one more outing when fifth behind Point Lonsdale in the Futurity Stakes back at HQ. Back in maiden company he looks the one to beat. Ballydoyle colt Minister Of War had a couple of nice runs last season and looks the obvious danger. He was third to Once Upon A River when last seen at Roscommon in late June and that looked a decent maiden for the track. Hotel Wren stepped forward from his debut when finishing runner-up to Pirate Jenny at Cork in September and could find further improvement up in trip on his return.
