Lester Leaps In is given a chance to atone for a slightly disappointing effort last time and is selected to beat Tangarita and Constant Cheers. Richard Hannon's top-weight put in a terrific effort first time out this season when a strong finishing third behind subsequent winner Braddock. He didn't seem to show the same sparkle next time out at Bath but was only beaten two lengths by High Seasons. If allowed to settle today he could come through late to take the honours. Tangarita finished second in that Bath event, with Constant Cheers in fourth. At the weight today there should be very little between them again and both could be involved in the finish. However the fact that Richard Hannon takes them on again suggests that Lester Leaps In can gain revenge on them this afternoon and is given our tentative vote.
