Le Leopard can get off the mark over flights

LE LEOPARD, useful on the level, is fancied to get off the mark over flights at the second time of asking in the Sheridan Electric Castlebar Maiden Hurdle at Ballinrobe this evening.

His initial pop over jumps could be described as decidedly moderate, finishing a remote 13th of 21 behind Hard Shoulder at Cork last month.

He performed a fair bit better than his final placing might suggest, however, and the selection has since run a cracking race on the flat at Gowran Park.
