BY far the most visually impressive winner of the past week or so was Jancis in the Brownstown Stakes at Leopardstown, and not only did she pass the eye test, but her sectional times and profile are further positives.

The Brownstown was a steadily run race, and Jancis looked badly positioned in rear, but she swept past her rivals in the straight to win going away. Billy Lee didn’t need to get serious with only two brief cracks of the whip.
