BRITZKA easily won a maiden here before a fine run behind exciting stable companion Fil Dor in a Leopardstown Grade 2 with Lunar Power just under three lengths in front. The latter had beaten Iberique Du Seuil almost five lengths at Punchestown before Gordon Elliott's charge narrowly landed the odds over this course and distance. Both are penalised along with Pat Fahey's new acquisition Black Sirius, a winner at Toulouse in October. Feigh is just held by the selection on a line through Fil Dor but may do better on this softer ground, though White Pepper looks more of a threat. She easily beat Iberique Du Seuil at Galway before a bold bid at making all in an Aintree Listed contest where she was only headed at the last.
