Forecasts

Zahrann (1/3), Game Point (13/8), Des Moines (5/1), Woodshaw (5/1), If I Was You (28/1), Tracker Issue (66/1)

Ger Lyons' Blue Point colt GAME POINT made a promising return when runner-up at Leopardstown last month and can go one better now at the chief expense of Aidan O'Brien's Des Moines who rates a major danger now he tackles 1m2f for the first time. Zahrann also has better days ahead of him and can have a say too in an intriguing maiden.
