Leopardstown Race 4 - Tote Ballyroan Stakes (Group 3)

CRYSTAL BLACK (1) won this twelve months ago. Completed a four-timer when successful in the 2400m Duke Of Edinburgh Handicap at Royal Ascot (UK) last year and returns after a four month break. Holds ability and rates a leading chance. SONS AND LOVERS (3) shaped with credit at the Ascot Royal meeting finishing a decent fifth contesting the 2000m Listed Wolferton Stakes. Likely player. LAYFAYETTE (2) is a smart performer. Recorded a runner-up effort in the G3 International Stakes at the Curragh over 2000m two outings ago. Holds claims. SIEGE OF TROY (6) looks interesting.

Last start 13th of 18 at Galway on August 1 over 2414m, 12 len behind Nans View with 63.5kg at $13. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Curragh in the G3 International Stakes on June 28 over 2011m, 3.5 len behind Trustyourinstinct with 61kg at $19. Certainly worth another chance.
