Leopardstown 1.15
The market can’t get enough of FINAL DEMAND now and I fully expect him to make it 2-2 over hurdles. That Limerick form has been strongly franked since with the second and third both winning since. The runner-up Timmy Tuesday looks a nice type. He will improve again and can get Mullins and Townend off to a flyer!
Jasmin De Vaux hasn’t really taken to hurdles and jumped terribly at Naas. If he can get into a better rhythm he could be the danger to the favourite.
Leopardstown 1.50
It really wouldn’t be a surprise if Mullins and Townend made it 2-2 here with SAINTE LUCIE. This filly looked really promising winning by 11 lengths on debut over hurdles at Punchestown. She looked far from the finished article there so should improve plenty again and I’m hoping she can win this before going on to run a big race in the Triumph next month.
Hello Neighbour is also well regarded and is yet to taste defeat having got the better of Lady Vega Allen here last time so looks the danger.

Leopardstown 2.25
Down the bottom of the weights MEETINGOFTHEWATERS has been heavily backed for this. He is back over hurdles off a much lower mark and if he can bounce back he is clearly ridiculously well handicapped. He has 24 horses to beat but I think this big field scenario suits him and his claims look fairly obvious on paper.
Perceval Legallois won this last year but doesn’t look to have much in hand this time around so perhaps Glen Kiln could run well at a double-figure price.
Leopardstown 2.55
I know MAJBOROUGH has been a bit weak in the betting but I’m not letting that put me off. He was so impressive winning on chase debut at Fairyhouse and he is only going to improve on that given it was his first start for 274 days. I see him as a big threat to Sir Gino in the Arkle so hopefully he can win this.
Ile Atlantique has also looked quite exciting over fences and is the obvious danger. He probably wants the ground softer than this though to be seen to best effect.

Leopardstown 3.30
It will be great scenes to see GALOPIN DES CHAMPS win again. He is becoming a horse of a lifetime and if he wins this it will tee him up perfectly for a chance to land 3 Gold Cups at the Cheltenham Festival next month. He reversed recent form with Fact To File and it is hard to see how he doesn’t confirm that again.
Fact To File is still a very talented horse with a great deal of potential but he might just be bumping into one again and if he finishes second again it will probably mean he’ll head to the Ryanair at Cheltenham next month.

Main danger Fact To File

Leopardstown 4.05
I can see MY MATE MOZZIE giving weight and a beating to these. He is a class act on his day and while he wasn’t at his best when last seen back over fences here now handicapping he could be capable of putting in a big performance.
Plenty of dangers in a race like this probably headed by Fascile Mode who could be capable of better. Shanbally Kid is also interesting if managing to jump better.
Leopardstown 4.35
I think you know by now I don’t go crazy in bumpers as they are tricky races to try and get right. I give GREEN SPLENDOUR a tentative vote here for Willie Mullins. He impressed winning at this track on debut for this yard and if improving again could be a big player.
He Can’t Dance is yet to taste defeat and impressed at Navan so looks the danger despite the drift. Koktail Brut also has a squeak at a bigger price.
