LORDS A LEAPING is taken to break his maiden tag at the fourth time of asking having run well in defeat, while both Borromeo and Fisadara are worth noting. The selection has not been out of the first three so far in his short career. He has continued to improve with race experience and with further improvement still to come he ought to take all the beating. Borromeo travels the long journey form Yorkshire to North Somerset. He finished third in a seven runner maiden at Leicester last time out and will probably fair better once tried in handicaps. Fisadara caught the eye when finishing second in a maiden at Lingfield on her penultimate start but she disappointed in a fillies handicap at Nottingham last time out. This looks and easier opportunity so she has to be respected. Lords A Leaping is improving fast and should prove difficult to beat.
