Point Gellibrand goes in the opener here, in what looks a good maiden on paper, he could prove some value for the win and we can kick off the card with a winner.
Point Gellibrand, looks to have a good chance in the opener for trainer Joseph O'Brien - who at time of writing is operating at a 25% strike rate. Point Gellibrand is a son of Camelot and a half brother to dual group winner at 1m2f, Pretty Tiger.
He only ran twice at 2, both over 7f which on pedigree is inadequate, so he should improve for the extra furlong today.
He was a good second on debut to the promising, unbeaten, Atomic Jones who won the G2 Champion Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown over a mile. Point Gellibrand just failed to get up and finished a short head second.
With the form franked on debut, it's best to put a line through his run next time out, on soft ground in the G2 Futurity Stakes (7F) at the Curragh though he did plug on, he never looked dangerous.
He looks a high class, well bred colt who's ran to a good level in only two runs.
On good ground with this step up in trip, for a trainer in form, he looks a massive player in the opener.
