LEISH OSCARS SON overcame trouble in running to score in a novice at Tramore recently and a mark of 107 looks more than fair, so he's well worth a chance to defy it. Friends N Commerce looks the main danger and Baldur's Gate is likely to put up a solid showing for all that he doesn't appear to be as well treated as the selection.

  1. LEISH OSCARS SON (IRE)
  2. FRIENDS N COMMERCE (IRE)
  3. BALDUR'S GATE (IRE)
