LEADERSHIP attempted to make all over the track and trip two weeks ago and, though he had no answer when Alla Mahlak quickened past, he stayed on well and wasn't beaten far. Dark Thunder, who had every chance, was a length behind with Bridegroom well beaten. Torno Subito ran in a handicap on the same fixture but never got into the action before staying on at the finish. He'd been racing over further earlier so this looks on the short side. Insaan, who is related to numerous winners, showed some potential for Dermot Weld last summer and could prove best of the remainder.
