Henry De Bromhead and Wayne Lordan teamed up to take the Bulmers Secret Orchard Live At Leopardstown Handicap with Harry's Legacy at Leopardstown.

Similar to earlier handicap winners Helpmeout and Complete Fiction the gelding came with a strong late run down the outside.

Second on his handicap debut at Gowran Park last time, the four-year-old went one better here. A half-brother to two black type performers, he is open to plenty of improvement at this distance.

Wayne Lordan said, “He had a nice run the last day coming off a break. His form was a little bit in and out and Henry said to take my time the last day so we tried not to change it today.

“He’s a big horse with a big stride and covers a lot of ground. I had to swing wide off the bend but I didn’t want to break his rhythm. He tries and he stays well.

“A big galloping track like this suits him. He still feels a bit babyish so there might be more to come.”
