FormscanBy Donal Murphy - Most of these are stepping-up to 1m 6f for the first time. POINT KING was doing his best work towards the finish on his latest start and should relish the extra yardage. He comfortably made the breakthrough at Fairyhouse in June and showed a likeable attitude when following-up here last month. Strongly pressed inside the final furlong, he pulled out more in the closing stages, going on to win by half-a-length. Bluegrass is a fascinating contender and warrants the utmost respect, returning to action for the first time since May. Third in the Dante at York over 1m 2f, he might come into his own over this longer trip. Joseph O'Brien trains the selection and also saddles Temple Of Artemis. Previously in the care of his father Aidan, the Galileo colt was successful when stepping up to 1m 4f at Chester in May, and it'll be interesting to see how he fares now. Manu Et Corde, Shajak and Simply Glorious look to be up against it.
