LONSDALE CAN MAKE HIS POINT FOR CHESTER PUNTERS
By Josh Luckhurst Point Lonsdale will have his stamina tested when locking horns with Arrest in the tote.co.uk Supporting Racing Ormonde Stakes on the second day of the Chester Festival. Aidan O’Brien’s five-year-old has never raced beyond a mile and a half in a successful 15-race career to date, so he will be travelling over 15 and a half furlongs for the first time in this Group Three contest. Ryan Moore guided Point Lonsdale to victory in the Group Two Huxley Stakes 12 months ago – the last taste of success for the durable Australia entire, who is back in domestic action after a stint in the Middle East this winter. Point Lonsdale came third in Bahrain in November before picking up over £94,000 for a sixth-placed finish in the Dubai Sheema Classic in March, despite going off at 100-1. Connections are confident Arrest can progress following his seventh on his reappearance at Newbury in April. He finished a 2023 campaign in which he started favourite for the Derby by taking the Geoffrey Freer at Newbury before a second in the St Leger in September. Arrest also has form at this track when landing the Boodles Chester Vase last year, but while he has no worries over the distance, it is O’Brien’s charge who just gets the nod.
