Formscan  - POINT LYNAS bolted up in this contest last year and has strong claims of repeating the dose. Ed Bethell's charge looked better than ever when runner-up in the Group 2 Summer Mile at Ascot last time and can confirm running with Prague (fourth). Make Me King returned from a four-month layoff to finish a solid third in a Group 3 race in France and can make his presence felt, while Boiling Point should also be sharper for a recent outing at Newcastle.
