Leathems Desire Back On Home Soil Tonight
The view of JONATHAN KAY
LEATHEMS DESIRE has to be of major interest back on home soil for the 8.50 over 515 metres having continued his education with a more-than-creditable Monmore Puppy Derby campaign.
Norah McEllistrim’s dog impressed with back-to-back wins here in January and could well enjoy a solo on the outside whereas some more experienced rivals may have to jockey for racing room.
