Verdict
A lucrative auction race where nothing can be ruled out. Snapius was engaged in the 2.40 at Leopardstown yesterday and his yard also go with De Vega's Warrior, who ran very well on heavy going at Limerick. The front-running Chicago Soldier couldn't handle Group 2 company last time but his earlier form gives him a chance while Shane Foley has chosen to ride Tut Tut over Eurocrat for Jessica Harrington after his mount won a Listowel nursery. The latter just held off CORPORAL VIOLETTE in a course and distance maiden last month but Ger Lyons' filly was making her debut and should have come on enough to reverse the form. She's handed the vote as Malayan couldn't handle Listed company at Leopardstown, though her earlier form puts her in the frame. Lady Of Inishfree was elevated into Listed company at Leopardstown and ran a cracking race to get within three lengths of Panama Red so has to be a threat to all.
