Jim Bolger halted a run of Ballydoyle winners with Mac Swiney a year ago and will be hoping for a repeat with Manu Et Corde, though he'll need to improve massively from his Leopardstown victory. POINT LONSDALE has done everything right so far, making a successful debut here then landing the Chesham before sauntering home in the Group 3 Tyro Stakes at Leopardstown where Maritime Wings was three lengths back in second. It's hard to imagine either of his stable companions challenging him but Point Gellibrand, who has Group 1 entries, could prove a different proposition. He should have made a winning debut here in June in a race that has worked out well and could be anything.
