Race preview
Runner-up on each of his last three starts, GAME POINT can record a deserved success. The Ger Lyons-trained son of Blue Point went closer than ever before last time, when going down by a neck in a big field at the Curragh on Derby weekend. Almost certainly just unfortunate to bump into a couple of decent rivals, there looks to be nothing wrong with his attitude. From a family that have done well on the all-weather, he could easily improve for this surface. Lombardi Trophy, who finished behind the selection at Leopardstown in April, looks the chief threat once again. Carthusian may also be capable of improvement in first-time blinkers.
