Verdict

Aidan O'Brien has dominated this race over the years and it's highly likely POINT LONSDALE will provide the yard with another winner it. The selection beat the reopposing Maritime Wings by a comfortable 3 lengths in the Tyros at Leopardstown and can confirm his superiority over Joseph O'Brien's colt.

  1. POINT LONSDALE (IRE)
  2. MARITIME WINGS (IRE)
  3. POINT GELLIBRAND (IRE)
