14:55 Leopardstown - 27 December 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Gordon Elliott fields several lively contenders in this competitive handicap and COKO BEACH could be the pick of them. His stamina was stretched over 29f at Fairyhouse last month and the 6-y-o is appealing back down in trip off what looks a workable mark. The Bosses Oscar is another strong candidate for the yard, but the unexposed Noble Yeats is feared most now faced with a stiffer test.

  1. COKO BEACH (FR)
  2. NOBLE YEATS (IRE)
  3. THE BOSSES OSCAR (IRE)
