Point Lonsdale Could Be Horse to Beat in 2021 Dewhurst Stakes
Point Lonsdale is the early betting favourite to win the Dewhurst Stakes, with this horse trained by the legendary Aidan O’Brien and the two-year-old has already been impressing racing fans with a succession of wins along the way. Things started with a maiden victory at The Curragh, while that was convincing enough for the runner to be sent off as odds-on favourite in the Chesham Stakes at Ascot which was also won.
The horse was incredibly strong favourite to win the Japan Racing Association Tyros Stakes before his latest victory came at The Curragh in another facile race, although it’s clear that Point Lonsdale could set the benchmark when it comes to this encounter.
John Gosden Set to Have a Lively Contender in This Race
Reach For The Moon is the leading light of the John Gosden stable, with the horse having secured two runner-up and two winner positions during his two-year-old career to date. The victories have come in the previous two renewals and the horse was the 2/5 winner of the Betway Solario Stakes at Sandown Park which saw Frankie Dettori enjoy a comfortable ride over seven furlongs.
Lusail is another multiple winner and the Richard Hannon-trained horse has won four of his past five challenges, with that victory in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes intimating that the two-year-old could possibly be the favourite to score a success considering the calibre of the runners who were involved.
