Verdict

BLUE POINT was impressive in the King's Stand over five furlongs last time and connections had previously said he would be a better horse over this trip. He was well fancied to reverse form with top UAE sprinter Ertijaal at Meydan over this trip in the spring before he was withdrawn at the start and he shaped like he would relish the extra furlong when an impressive winner at Ascot. The son of Shamardal is taken to get the better of Redkirk Warrior who wasn't at his best on UK debut at Ascot but the Australian raider is better than that and sprint form from the Southern Hemisphere can often prove strong. Dewhurst winner U S Navy Flag isn't ruled out returned to sprinting.
