Leontes has the form to figure though was a non-runner at Chesptow on Thursday. WHAT’S THE STORY is preferred as he’s found one too good in both starts over track and trip so far including the subsequent handicap winner Montataire. Conistone ran well on her debut at Thirsk but disappointed last time while Looting has been competing in better company than Metronomic. The Fahey newcomer Royal Cosmic is related to three winners while Lualiwa and Parnassian also represent powerful northern yards.
