In depth
Verdict
Leroy Leroy became disappointing on the Flat but appears to have taken well to hurdles and he finished 10 lengths ahead of Divine Gift when second to El Borracho here 10 days ago. Edward Blue was well beaten in that race while Finnick Glory and Staithes are returning from a break, though the latter has plenty of scope. Pink Sheets looked to be getting the hang of jumping here last month but LADYKILLER (NAP) could outclass these. A Group 3 and Listed winner for Andreas Wohler on the Flat, he’s been gelded ahead of his first taste of the jumping game.
