Mt Leinster was just beaten over 1m6f on the level here on Friday evening but VADO FORTE (NAP) is 6lb lower in the weights than when beating stablemate Benefit Run half-a-length in this 12 months ago. Ross O’Sullivan looks to have laid out the 10-year-old for a repeat given he wasn’t given a hard time when third at Punchestown in June. Sole Pretender won in a higher grade at Killarney last month and Robbie Geoghegan takes off a handy 7lb again and Tipperary winner Roseys Hollow has a good strike-rate. Hereditary Rule is 5-15 for John McConnell and is another to consider but Mr Saxobeat unseated his rider at an early stage here on Friday.
