SEARCH FOR A MYTH is getting better with each run, and having finished runner-up at Clonmel just over 7 weeks ago (fourth and fifth in that race won big-field events next time), Robert Tyner's charge is fancied to go one better here. He's Leading Me On has filled the runner-up spot on his last couple of starts so he's fancied to be bang there once again, along with Miss Daingerfield.
