Verdict
Man Of Leisure was made odds-on for his chasing bow at Ffos Las last week but was already being pushed along when falling on the final circuit. He doesn't look a natural chaser and possibly lacks the scope of CINEVATOR, who has won three times over hurdles and comes from solid jumping stock. Caroline Keevil's six-year-old lacks a recent run but looks in a different league to Kayfrou and Wak A Turtle.
