Leopardstown Race 2 - Irish Ebf Auction Series Mdn
BANKS OF THE BOYNE (11) appears just four days on from a promising fourth in a 1200m Curragh handicap. Knocked on the door with consecutive seconds before that and is given a decent chance for a breakthrough this time. THE GREEN HELMET (6) stepped forward when 2.5L third in a 1200m Sligo maiden. More to come again. Leading chance. TOGETHERWEAREFREE (7) is a newcomer by State Of Rest and out of a useful mare. Worth a market check on debut. LUCY'S PROMISE (15) revisits this level after a poor handicap run. Showed promise previous efforts and can bounce back. ROMANCE (13) is another likely to progress.

Second-up. First start 5th of 10 at Roscommon on May 11 over 1508m, 6 len behind Dancing Destiny with 56kg at $67. Went for a break before returning 10th of 15 at Galway on July 31 over 1408m, 16 len behind Joga Bonito carrying 56.5kg at $151. Strips fitter and is among the better hopes.
