Lemonstown Lad set to finally get his head in front

FRANK ENNIS’ Lemonstown Lad can leave a bout of seconditis firmly behind by landing the Vintners’ Maiden at Listowel this afternoon.

The son of Catrail looked all over a winner at Tipperary last time. He attempted to make all the running and was clear into the straight.

But Tommy Stack’s highly rated Tolpuddle found an explosive turn of foot in the closing stages to cut down the leader and score by three parts of a length.
