Leopardstown 19:53 - Price Boost

oddschecker Verdict

After shedding his maiden tag at Limerick, the Johnny Murtagh-trained LORD AUS gets the vote. A staying-on third at Down Royal on his previous start, the son of Australia improved for the step up in trip when scoring readily at the Munster track. Nicely treated by conditions and with the potential for further improvement now he is asked to race over an additional furlong, it would be no surprise to see him double up. Dundalk maiden winner Handshake is respected, given the form was boosted when the runner-up won at Roscommon three weeks ago. Curragh winner Wyman needed every yard of 1m2f on that occasion so should benefit from going further here.

Prediction: 1st Lord Aus, 2nd Handshake, 3rd Wyman
