POINT GELLIBRAND has been gelded since runner-up to Martinstown at Cork in May with a subsequent winner in third and should have few problems getting off the mark. The winner's yard is represented by Oh So Lovely, a full-sister to three winners who never got into contention on her debut at Dundalk but was staying on at the finish. Gatito Rapido made his debut in a strong Curragh maiden and ran better than the form figure indicates but the remaining pair have shown nothing.
