Layfayette heads this nine-runner Leopardstown mile-and-a-half contest on good-to-firm ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Green Impact and Ethical Diamond on our ratings, with the case for him resting on that marginal edge at the top of the field. Green Impact and Ethical Diamond are the most obvious dangers, separated from our selection by just a pound or two apiece, while Gaucher also merits respect as a live threat at a small rating deficit. This is a competitive Class 1 heat with little separating the principals, so the verdict is offered with limited conviction. **Layfayette** is the selection.
