Verdict

There's undoubtedly better still to come from POINT KING and, with this drop back in trip holding no fears given the way he travelled last time, he's fancied to extend his winning sequence to 4. Thunder Kiss, Earl of Tyrone and Beamish are all credible rivals in a strong-looking Group 3.

  1. POINT KING (IRE)
  2. THUNDER KISS (IRE)
  3. EARL OF TYRONE (IRE)
