Verdict
Successful twice over hurdles here, Leostar returned from a long absence with a third over track and trip last month ahead of Ned Tanner. Grand Voyage justified favouritism at Ayr and the second has gone close again since but a lack of experience probably cost GIT MAKER when he was well backed at Sandown four weeks ago and he’ll know more today.
