Verdict
I HAVE A VOICE found form with a vengeance at Leopardstown this month when a dominant winner of a three-year-old handicap under the steadier of 9-12. Jim Bolger wastes no time in pitching him in against the older brigade even though he's been hit with a 10lb rise for the win. He could prove a major improver and is taken to follow up. Black Hawk Eagle rates a big threat though. A maiden he may be, but he's progressed considerably the last twice, will handle the trip well and Colin Keane retains the ride for the fourth consecutive time. Check French Asset in the market after such a lengthy absence and Global Energy and Evening Verse also make the shortlist.
