LEAP YEAR LAD has looked a tricky customer, but he went as close as he ever has to winning at Newcastle last month, and with this contest unlikely to take much winning, Kevin Ryan's charge gets the verdict back in headgear. This trip should be right up Na Scoitear's street so he may emerge as the main danger, with Storyinthesand another who needs considering.
