FormscanBy Michael Graham - LEAH'S CONTESSA was good enough to land a maiden hurdle at this track without fully settling. A first-time hood is tried and she is on a mark she ought to be competitive off on handicap debut. One And Only had a productive December in Cork with a victory and a runner-up berth posted, so he can get into contention. Kingkong Ciergues left previous efforts well behind when just pipped by a head at this track which makes him dangerous. There was promise in Glenetty's third place on handicap debut at Punchestown, while Wardens Whisper made all over a shorter trip at Cork and wasn't winning out of turn. Elusive Guy is another to consider in a competitive race.
