POINT Lonsdale (115) kept his impeccable record intact with a smooth as silk success in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes at the Curragh last Saturday, continuing his progression through the grades building towards his first Group 1 assignment in the National Stakes at the Curragh over Irish Champions weekend.

Ryan Moore kept it simple on the son of Australia and made every yard of the running, his obedient partner lengthening his stride when asked to seal the race passing the intersection of the courses.
