ASK THE LEADER (NAP) has won twice around here and with her rider's claim to aid her cause looks well enough treated to land this poor-quality handicap. Good Man Turk came in for strong support at Punchestown after a couple of promising efforts but weakened quickly from the last. Darkest Hour showed his first sign of ability over hurdles here last month as did Montel Glory over a longer trip where he didn't get the clearest of runs. Our Brian's two carer victories have come on this track and he's at the right end of the handicap.
