Not the easiest handicap to assess and it could pay to side with LEECH who made an encouraging return when fourth here last month and should prove well suited by this return to a longer trip. Mickey Bowen's new recruit Dance In The Park could emerge as the chief threat, although recent C&D scorer El Bandido Pancho seems sure to go well again. Sparkling Duke is another who could have a say if a yard switch sparks improvement.
