Formscan - Holloway Boy finished an excellent second in the Summer Mile at Ascot latest and seemingly holds all the aces down in class, but POINT LYNAS gets the nod. Victorious in this contest back in 2024 before finishing last of six when sent off as favourite 12 months ago, he returned to form with a creditable fourth in a warm handicap at York last time and can build on that performance to regain his crown. Cerulean Bay can chase the pair home.
