Verdict

LEAP ABROAD again shaped well and highlighted he's one to be interested in when fourth in a similar big-field contest at Newmarket recently and, from a 2 lb lower mark, he could well be ready to open his account for the season. Unsurprisingly claims can be made for plenty, with Aplomb, the in-form Bernardo O'Reilly and Shobiz just a trio of others fancied to be thereabouts.

  1. LEAP ABROAD (IRE)
