Verdict
Leroy Leroy has become unreliable on the Flat so it’s anybody’s guess how he’ll take to jumping. LIGHT IN THE SKY made a promising start over hurdles here last month, keeping on under considerate handling. With that experience under his belt, the French import could take advantage of the 8lb her receives from recent course and distance winner Captain Tom Cat.
