A massive prize on offer here for these juveniles and we think it can fall to Leandros, Reel Gift and Dellini may provide most danger. The selection is trained in Ireland by Ger Lyons, who is having a terrific season, in particular with his juveniles. Leandros hit winning form on the all-weather at Dundalk, beating the highly regarded Mr Medici by a length and a half. In time that could turn out to be very strong form and he looks worth a chance this afternoon. Dellini is one of five Mick Channon runners and is the least exposed. She landed a Chester conditions race last time out despite not looking the finished article. With Darryl Holland on board we expecte a big run. Richard Hannon is also multi-handed here and Reel Gift looks the best of his trio. Having chased home Visit at Ascot, she wasn't disgraced at Kempton over the week-end and should make her presence felt. The other Irish raider Achilles Of Troy is another worthy of a mention, but we will side with his compatriot and give the vote to Leandros.
