In depth
Verdict
There is an abundance of stamina on the dam's side of Pigeon Point's pedigree and the step up to seven furlongs could prove to be no problem. She receives a handy 5lb sex allowance and should handle the course after giving a good account of herself at Goodwood last time. Flake and Easy Rider may be the ones to capitalise the most if Pigeon Point fails to live up to the potential she has shown so far.
