Audience heads this nine-runner Class 1 at Leopardstown on good-to-firm ground rated narrowly ahead of the chasing pack, and his profile suggests he can justify that superiority over this eight-furlong trip. Chicago Critic represents the most significant threat at a six-pound deficit, while Sparan Nua and Cowardofthecounty — both rated 107 — will need to find improvement to get involved at the business end. Audience looks the class act of the field and should prove too good for his rivals here. **Audience** is our selection.
