FormscanBy Mark Nunan - For whatever reason, MT LEINSTER didn’t perform when sent off joint favourite for last month’s Ebor but it was his first outing in over ten months and it should pay to forgive that run. Willie Mullins’ dual-purpose performer won a really hot renewal of this race last year when having subsequent Irish Cesarewitch winner Cape Gentleman back in second. Flor De Luna has Jamie Codd’s assistance and her Listed second to Moll at Cork first time out this term was a fine effort. She disappointed twice the following month but clearly goes well fresh and is 6lb well-in at the weights with the selection. In-form Jessica Harrington also runs Barbados who went close in a similar event at Killarney last month before finding the competition too hot in the Irish St Leger. He’s best treated at the weights but a strike rate of one win from twenty starts is undeniably off-putting.
