Guineas final finisher Point impressive in maiden success Without Parole, Monarchs Glen and Baghdad have been doing Frankel proud over at Royal Ascot, and his son Spanish Point scored at the altogether more modest level of the Leopardstown "Club 30" Maiden. Last in the Irish 2,000 Guineas last time, Spanish Point followed up wins for Ballydoyle earlier at Ascot with Hunting Horn and Magic Wand to make most in this mile event under Emmet McNamara. The 5/1 winner was really strong inside the last to put three and a half lengths between himself and favourite Dawn Trouper. "I got an easy lead and he stretched well to the line," said McNamara. "You would imagine he would have no problem stepping up another two furlongs if he had to after that. "It was nice to get the opportunity with the other lads away." (AM & EM)
