Race preview
THE PRIESTS LEAP was an unimpressive sixth at Punchestown on his return to chasing but improved on that effort when second at Limerick last time, with a subsequent winner back in fifth. Arthur Moore's charge is taken to strike in this. Now Where Or When beat Bythesametoken by two lengths when filling the first two places at Fairyhouse last time but the latter could get his revenge thanks to a 5lb pull in the weights here.
