This has cut up badly from the original entries and offers LEOMAR a quick opportunity to gain compensation for a head defeat by Delface on St Patrick's Day at Wexford. Only caught in the final strides under a conditional, this flat track will be to his benefit as will Bryan Cooper's presence in the saddle. Mick Winters has a pair entered. Shes Flat Tothemat was only three lengths behind the selection last week, a huge improvement on her opening run and she'll be 2lb better off but Doldido makes his racecourse debut and his pedigree suggests he'll need further. Dontdooddson is related to plenty of winners and looks a nice type for the future while Molten Gold showed a bit of promise on the Flat for Andrew Balding.
