Winning bumper and hurdler MT LEINSTER has yet to score in four starts over fences but his close fourth in a Grade B handicap at Punchestown is in a different league to anything achieved by his rivals. Gavin Cromwell's horses are flying so expect a good run from dual hurdles winner and chasing debutant Shantou Lucky while Global Society, twice a winner over timber for Nicky Henderson, didn't run badly on his second start over fences at Gowran.
