Verdict
LATCHET gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up at Dundalk and duly obliged at Leopardstown on Wednesday. She's picked up a 6lb penalty but her rider's claim takes care of most of that and a quick double looks on the cards. Scorpion Black also arrives from a yard in top form so the lack of a run shouldn't be a problem though some rain would aid his cause. Institution hasn't been showing much over hurdles and looks high enough in the weights but stable companion War Anthem scored over timber when last seen in 2016 and the lack of a run is never a concern for one from his yard. Vastonea is very well handicapped if anywhere near his best though it's a long time since Kevin Prendergast's grey last won.
