PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
The locally-owned WINGED LEADER would be a popular winner of his if he was able to keep up his excellent course record around here. The reigning champion has won on each of his last four visits to this track and returns here in search of a 30th career victory within the point-to-point sphere. Gorthill benefitted from his departure at Kirkistown last time out and again ranks as the big danger ahead of Hollow Games who returns back between the flags following two runs in hunter chases at Haydock and Gowran.
