Leanne beats the boys in Wilderness

Leanne was the only mare in the line-up for the Wilderness Chase but she crucially had the most recent run of any of the field and she made her fitness count under Robbie Colgan at Clonmel.

Taking over after three out, the daughter of Alderbrook was soon clear and she galloped on well to see off the favourite, Whatuthink by ten lengths. Pesoto took a heavy fall three out and brought down Mr Warbucks

Winning trainer Billy Harney said: "I needed to get a run into her but she was fit. She was a stone wrong in the handicap with Whatuthink. We'll see what Mr O'Brien does (the handicapper), the plans are in his hands."
