GAME POINT has made a bright start over hurdles and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account. Faerie Tales made more impact than her uninspiring Flat record suggested she might when third on her hurdles debut at Tramore a fortnight ago and could improve. Newcomer Down After Dark is also worth a look.
