Equity Swap was hammered from a morning price of 3/1 into 9/10 for the concluding Follow Leopardstown On Facebook Handicap. The handicapper had given him a stone for his previous success at Navan but judging on his win tonight the assessor has more work to do to catch up with the likeable Strategic Prince three-year-old.
The chestnut endears himself to connections and punters by finding plenty for pressure and again when Wayne Lordan (doubling his score after an earlier win on Fire Lily asked for more, Tommy Stack's charge dug deep to assert in the closing stages for a convincing three and three parts of a length win over Filatore
Lordan said: "There was a strong gallop and he kept at it – he stays well.
"It was a bit of a slog but he kept going and he handled the ground." (GC & EM)
