Race preview
LEITZEL won her first two starts as a two-year-old when with David O'Meara and had fair handicap form for him last term. She has shaped well in her first two starts over hurdles and wasn't beaten far when third at Ballinrobe in May. That was an ordinary contest but this looks no stronger and she can score if brushing up her jumping, which was novicey last time. Mordor is the obvious danger and has plenty of experience in this discipline. Placed in four of his six starts over hurdles, he was clear of the remainder when chasing home a smart type at Tramore. Game Eagle ran okay when mid-division on hurdling debut at Roscommon and has place claims.
