In depth

Verdict

Gatsby Cap is a dual winner here and only 1lb higher than when last successful in June. It's a long time since Facethepuckout won but he's now 10lb lower and made an encouraging reappearance at Leopardstown. He finished seven lengths behind today's rival Dusty Winds here in September but the latter was in poor form subsequently. PLUGGED IN only had two runs last summer, scoring at Bellewstown and beaten less than two lengths here. He wouldn't have been suited by heavy going on his return to action but should be ready for this. Jazz Dreamers was only beaten a length in a handicap here a couple of weeks ago but could have done without a 3lb rise.
