Verdict

The form of SPRINGHILL WARRIOR's second to the progressive I Started A Joke in a big-field at Punchestown maiden last month was given a timely boost when the winner found just one too strong in a major Leopardstown handicap on Sunday. Gordon Elliott's charge is taken to make it third time lucky, with French import Harwa the main danger ahead of Lincoln Du Seuil. Also shortlisted is Grandy Lane.
