Leopardstown 19:45 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

The Ger Lyons-trained DALER can register a second win here this season. A former all-weather victor, the Dark Angel gelding made the breakthrough on turf when scoring at this venue on his penultimate start. A staying on second at Ballinrobe last month, the four-year-old still looks ahead of the handicapper. Faced with an additional furlong now, this looks a nice opportunity to resume winning ways. Third in that aforementioned Ballinrobe race, Marmeladova went one better when runner-up at Tramore subsequently. The Ken Condon-trained mare has every chance of getting her head back in front. Faro Island, who arguably ran better than the bare form suggests when mid division in the Apprentices Derby, is also worthy of serious consideration.

Prediction: 1st Daler, 2nd Marmeladova, 3rd Faro Island
