Leopardstown Race 7 - Hurling For Cancer Research Supported By Centra On 18Th August (Q.r.) Race
Course winner A PIECE OF HEAVEN (1) ended last year with an excellent 0.5L second attempting the 3400m Irish Cesarewitch Premier Handicap at the Curragh. Looks hard to beat on return. SHANROE (3) stays well and is a former Listed winner. Below par sixth tackling a 3200m Listed event at Down Royal during May. Shortlist on best form. GENTLEMAN JOE (2) found success by 0.5L over 2600m at Listowel two runs ago. Makes appeal. REDCLIFF GLEN (5) warrants thought.

Comes here off a 55-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 13 at Kilbeggan on May 16 over 4123m, 5 len behind Beggars Rock carrying 75.5kg at $6. The start before that won by 0.5 len at Cork May 10 over 4023m defeating Cullagh Pride with 72.5kg at $3.50. Likely to find this out of reach.

Resuming after a break of 11 weeks. Finished off last preparation when last of 14 at Kilbeggan April 24 over 3118m, 72 len behind Malbay Madness with 72kg at $15. First up last campaign fourth in a small field at Limerick April 10 over 3218m, 21 len behind Mercury Mission with 66.5kg at $9.50. Doubt he will have much to offer first up.

Third-up today. Comes off a 41 day let-up. Resuming didn't finish the race at Wexford May 17 over 4023m. Second-up 8th of 12 at Tramore on May 30 over 4425m, 37 len behind Aussie Warrior with 72kg at $29. Has ability but needs more time.
