Jessica Harrington runs two here with Pincheck's latest effort in a Leopardstown Group 3 giving him the edge over Marshall Jennings, who started favourite in that event but finished last. The former has twice finished behind On The Go Again this season though was unsuited by testing conditions on both occasions and can turn the table on Michael Mulvaney's charge, who has a penalty to carry. Alexios Komnenos hasn't replicated last season's Group 3-winning form but Making Light had PANSTARR just over a length behind in a Group 3 at Naas earlier in the campaign and, though neither has won subsequently, the latter just gets the vote with a 5lb pull in the weights.
