13:15 Leopardstown (Class 1) 22f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (7/4 +0%) Doctor Steinberg	1.75 7/4(+0%)	(1) Doctor Steinberg 7/4, The yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Won the Navan Novice Hurdle (Grade 2) by 5l last time. Trainer is in form, form has been franked in the River Don last week and he looks very useful, with scope to do better back up in trip. Has taken to hurdling well, smooth Navan win franked by runner-up Thedeviluno at Doncaster.
2	4 2nd (4) (4/1 +38%) Kazansky	4 4/1(+38%)	(4) Kazansky 4/1, Travelled well and was hampered late when winning the Defender Novice Hurdle (Grade 2) at Limerick by a head last time. Improved up in trip and looks a progressive sort who appears to have more to come as a stayer. Looks the clear stable first string on jockey bookings. Won a steadily-run 2m7f Limerick Grade 2 race, should be able to cope with a stronger pace.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 -14%) Love Me Tender	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Love Me Tender 4/1, The yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Finished an 8 1/2l third in the Future Champions Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) here on his most recent run where he looked in need of further. Trainer is in form and he looks classy, with improvement likely now upped in trip though conditions a slight concern. Three wins on good-to yielding ground at short odds, made mistakes when raised in class.
4	6 4th (6) (13/2 +59%) Riskaway	6.5 13/2(+59%)	(6) Riskaway 13/2, Ran to form when second, beaten 6l, in a conditions hurdle at Limerick last time, just flattening out on testing ground. Effective at this sort of trip and remains a promising sort from a top yard. Looks a stayer in the making who could play a part if getting a stiff test. Second in a 2m4f Limerick contest on heavy ground, his trainer has stronger candidates.
5th	2 5th (2) (18/1 +45%) Frankie John	18 18/1(+45%)	(2) Frankie John 18/1, Ran to form but was comfortably outclassed when held in the Ballymore Novice Hurdle (Grade 1) at Naas last time. Had been in good form beforehand and is steadily progressing, but has plenty to find to win at Graded level and was held by Doctor Steinberg in a maiden. Beat Jalon d'Oudairies at Christmas, Naas fifth exposed his limitations at Grade 1 level.
6th	7 6th (7) (17/2 -70%) Santo Sospir	8.5 17/2(-70%)	(7) Santo Sospir 17/2, Improved again down in trip when getting the first run off a steady pace to win the Munster Hurdle at Clonmel by 9l last time. Effective over this range and arrives as a progressive type though form has taken some knocks. Three wins from four, all with heavy in the going description, likely to be in the mix.
7th	8 7th (8) (40/1 -21%) Tackletommywoowoo	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Tackletommywoowoo 40/1, Improved again when winning a Listed novice hurdle at Cork by 2 1/4l last time. That came after a short break and the form has been franked in a Grade 3. He looks a hugely progressive stayer, though he needs more again stepping up in class and there are ground concerns. Highly progressive since last summer, trip would be fine on different ground, doubts here.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (14/1 +58%) Yeshil	14 14/1(+58%)	(9) Yeshil 14/1, Improved up in trip when finishing 4l third in the Defender Novice Hurdle (Grade 2) at Limerick on his most recent run. Effective over a range of distances with cut and is progressing over hurdles but bit to find with re-opposing rivals. Third to Kazansky at Limerick, RPR and official figures suggest this will be too demanding.

13:15 Leopardstown (Class 1) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

DOCTOR STEINBERG won a Ballinrobe bumper in good style last May and is unbeaten in both starts over the smaller obstacles. The son of Doctor Dino beat Frankie John at Galway and handled testing ground well when keeping on strongly to land a 2m4f Grade 2 at Navan next time. That form was given a timely boost by Thedeviluno last weekend and he could prove hard to beat. Gordon Elliott is four-handed with Santo Sospir bidding for a hat-trick following a decisive win on heavy ground at Clonmel, while Jack Kennedy's mount Kazansky has proven stamina after landing a Grade 2 at Limerick.

Willie Mullins has won four of the last five editions. He can add to the trend with DOCTOR STEINBERG, whose Navan win has been boosted

1	4 1st (4) (1/1 -37%) Narciso Has	1 1/1(-37%)	(4) Narciso Has 1/1, The yard has won three of the last five runnings. Won the Changing Times Brewery Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) here by 11l last time. Trainer is in form. Effective at 2m, with strong Irish form, and more to come for top connections. Could avenge defeat to Mange Tout earlier in the season. Impressive C&D Grade 2 winner will put it up to his Fairyhouse conqueror Mange Tout here.
2	7 2nd (7) (17/2 +15%) Selma De Vary	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(7) Selma De Vary 17/2, The yard has won three of the last five runnings. Won a mares' hurdle at Auteuil by 9l last time. Trainer is in form. Effective at 2m. Showed high-class form in France and has joined top connections with an excellent record with similar types. Won well on heavy at Auteuil although form not working out; Townend's prefers to Bertutea.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/8 +32%) Mange Tout	1.875 15/8(+32%)	(6) Mange Tout 15/8, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings. Won a Grade 3 Juvenile Hurdle at Fairyhouse by 3l last time benefitting from patient ride off strong pace when defeating Narciso Has. Returns from a short break. Effective at 2m, a very smart juvenile prospect who is expected to get further in time. Found plenty to beat Narciso Has at Fairyhouse; still a work in progress and more likely.
4	5 4th (5) (33/1 -18%) North Shore	33 33/1(-18%)	(5) North Shore 33/1, The yard won this race last year. A promising debut when third, beaten 11l, in the Changing Times Brewery Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time. Effective at 2m. Very useful on the Flat in France and may progress over hurdles. C&D debut second to Narciso Has at Christmas; more expected but has 11l to find.
5th	3 5th (3) (33/1 -32%) Immediate Effect	33 33/1(-32%)	(3) Immediate Effect 33/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings. Won a maiden hurdle at Punchestown by 3l last time. Effective at 2m. A debut winner who should have more to offer, but has plenty to find now stepping up in grade. Flat recruit did it well on hurdles debut; handles heavy, lot more on his plate here.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 +36%) Barbizon	16 16/1(+36%)	(1) Barbizon 16/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings. Fourth, beaten 13l, in the Changing Times Brewery Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) here last time. Effective at 2m. Progressive on the Flat and looks a classy hurdles recruit but work to do to reverse form with Narciso Has. C&D fourth to Narciso Has leaves him with over 2l to find; handle heavy though.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (18/1 -13%) Bertutea	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Bertutea 18/1, The yard has won three of the last five runnings. Won a maiden hurdle at Limerick by 9l last time. Effective at 2m. Ex-French, and while the stable debut form had knocks, there should be more to come, though this is tougher. Limerick maiden winner on heavy; still an unknown quantity so respected.

13:50 Leopardstown (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

The unbeaten MANGE TOUT has already had the number of Narciso Has having beaten that rival by nearly three lengths in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse and she is taken to confirm that form, despite being 4lb worse off. The selection did have the benefit of a previous outing this term and Narciso Has certainly progressed when landing a Grade 2 over C&D at the Christmas meeting, with North Shore and Barbizon soundly beaten in third and fourth respectively. Willie Mullins' challenge is further bolstered by Selma De Vary and Bertutea, who both won in clear-cut fashion on heavy ground last time. Immediate Effect was rated in the high 80s on the Flat and made a winning start over hurdles at Punchestown.

MANGE TOUT can confirm Fairyhouse form with subsequent C&D Grade 2 winner Narciso Has

14:25 Leopardstown (Class 1) 24f - 21 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	22 1st (22) (10/1 +17%) Saint Le Fort	10 10/1(+17%)	(22) Saint Le Fort 10/1, Improved when well placed in a race dominated from the front, finishing 4 1/4l third in the Neville Hotels Premier Handicap Hurdle (Listed) here last time. He is effective at 2 1/2m and remains generally consistent. Strong-finishing third to Champagne Kid here at Christmas; longer trip should suit.
2	23 2nd (23) (18/1 +10%) Savante	18 18/1(+10%)	(23) Savante 18/1, Too much to do when beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap hurdle here last time. Cheekpieces are applied first time; she is effective over 2 1/2-3m and is capable of better than shown most recently. Best work at finish behind Duke Silver here at Christmas; cheekpieces added but 4lb wrong.
3	16 3rd (16) (10/1 +9%) He Can't Dance	10 10/1(+9%)	(16) He Can't Dance 10/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He ran to form when third, beaten 2 1/2l, in a maiden hurdle at Navan most recently; effective from 2m to 2m6f and could progress now handicapping. Maiden hurdler gives the impression 3m will suit and could go well on handicap debut.
4	18 4th (18) (12/1 +52%) Barra Rua	12 12/1(+52%)	(18) Barra Rua 12/1, Keen and jumping poorly, she nevertheless ran to form when fourth, beaten 14l, in the Defender Novice Hurdle (Grade 2) at Limerick latest. She is effective from 2m to 3m, and her form has since been franked. Nearly 14l off County Final at Limerick over Christmas; 2lb wrong here on handicap debut.
5th	20 5th (20) (15/2 +12%) Dippedinmoonlight	7.5 15/2(+12%)	(20) Dippedinmoonlight 15/2, Beaten 1 1/4l off a 5lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time where she did much the best of those forcing the pace. She is effective from 2m to 3m, is a point, bumper and Flat winner, and has shown progressive form over hurdles. Likely has more to offer. Fairyhouse second 3lb wrong but rider good value for his 7lb claim so one to consider.
6th	6 6th (6) (33/1 +34%) Minella Sixo	33 33/1(+34%)	(6) Minella Sixo 33/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He needed the run when well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest; a visor is fitted first time, and he is effective at around 3m but form has tailed off. Ground concerns and doesn't appear one of the more obvious Elliott contenders.
7th	12 7th (12) (16/1 -14%) Duke Silver	16 16/1(-14%)	(12) Duke Silver 16/1, Improved when landing a handicap by 3/4l off an 8lb lower mark here last time where got first run on closers. He is effective over 2 1/2-3m and has generally shown progressive form but easier ground a worry. Up 8lb for Christmas win here so career-best required.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 +20%) Son Of Anarchy	6 6/1(+20%)	(7) Son Of Anarchy 6/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He scored by 7 1/2l off a 12lb lower mark at Punchestown two starts ago; given too much to do under a poor ride last time; a top jockey returns, and he remains effective at 2-2 3/4m; not fully exposed. Strong-finishing Navan third could relish this step up in trip.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (7/2 +22%) County Final	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(11) County Final 7/2, Rallied gamely and improved up in trip when second, beaten a head, in the Defender Novice Hurdle (Grade 2) at Limerick latest. A significant jockey booking looks notable, and he has shown effective form from 2m to 3m. Form has been franked and he looks generously treated back in a handicap. Progressive 6yo with legitimate claims back in handicap company but this very competitive.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (8/1 +33%) Wendrock	8 8/1(+33%)	(8) Wendrock 8/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He was beaten 7l in the Neville Hotels Premier Handicap Hurdle (Listed) here last time; effective at 2-2 1/2m, and remains unexposed at this trip. On a good mark on juvenile form so looks a threat. Too much to do when strong-finisher here over 2m5f at Christmas; interesting upped in trip.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (15/2 +32%) Champagne Kid	7.5 15/2(+32%)	(9) Champagne Kid 15/2, Improved on handicap debut when wearing first-time cheekpieces, getting first run to land the Neville Hotels Premier Handicap Hurdle (Listed) by 3 1/2l here last time. He is effective up to 2m6f and has shown progressive form so should remain competitive. Progressive 7yo attempts to back up Christmas win here off 7lb higher and longer trip.
17	17 \|PU\| (17) (18/1 -29%) Road To Home	18 18/1(-29%)	(17) Road To Home 18/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He was outpaced but ran to form when beaten 3l off a 5lb higher mark at Newbury last time, shaping as though a stiffer test may suit. Looks on a generous mark based on his chase form and can get involved. Placed in handicap chases of late; step up in trip could bring improvement.
14	14 \|PU\| (14) (22/1 +21%) Sysko	22 22/1(+21%)	(14) Sysko 22/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He failed to stay when stepped up in trip here most recently, having been in good form beforehand, and remains effective around 2 1/2m. Stamina concerns once again. Didn't count behind Duke Of Silver here at Christmas; questions to answer.
24	24 \|PU\| (24) (28/1 -40%) Small Town Hero	28 28/1(-40%)	(24) Small Town Hero 28/1, Scored by 4l off an 11lb lower mark at Haydock two starts ago, then ran to form up in class when third, beaten 5l, off 113 last time. Blinkers are applied first time, and he is effective at around 3m but needs to progress again. Third to Duke Silver here at Christmas but tough ask from 5lb out of handicap here.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (33/1 -32%) D Art D Art	33 33/1(-32%)	(2) D Art D Art 33/1, Below form when finishing down the field in the Lawlor's of Naas Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown last time. He had been in good form previously, is effective at 2-2 1/2m, but has yet to fully convince with stamina at this trip. Absent since never really counting at Punchestown festival in early May; may need this.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (33/1 +34%) Daily Present	33 33/1(+34%)	(3) Daily Present 33/1, Needed the run when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently. He enjoys making the running, is effective at around 3m, acts with cut. Well treated on chase form including Kim Muir victory but remains inconsistent. All the better for Christmas C&D comeback run; yard/rider in fine form.
21	21 \|PU\| (21) (33/1 +34%) Hartur D'arc	33 33/1(+34%)	(21) Hartur D'arc 33/1, Built on his stable debut when finishing down the field in the Paddy Power Handicap Chase (Listed) here most recently. He is effective over 2 1/2-3m, but a bit more is needed for his new yard. Below best twice in valuable handicap chases last month; not an obvious contender..
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (33/1 +50%) Yeats Star	33 33/1(+50%)	(4) Yeats Star 33/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He was outclassed when finishing down the field in the Paddy Power Handicap Chase (Listed) here last time; cheekpieces are applied first time, and he can be unreliable. Has looked in handicapper's grasp over both hurdles and fences of late; cheekpieces tried.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (40/1 -21%) Eclipse Chaser	40 40/1(-21%)	(15) Eclipse Chaser 40/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He was disappointing up in trip on handicap debut when finishing down the field here last time; his trainer is in form, but the mark demands more. Didn't count behind Duke Of Silver here at Christmas; others preferred.
19	19 \|PU\| (19) (50/1 +0%) Littlefoot	50 50/1(+0%)	(19) Littlefoot 50/1, Too much to do after a series of errors when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle here most recently. He is effective over 2-2 3/4m, remains in fair form, and may do better back up in trip but heavy ground a slight worry. Well held of late at Cheltenham and here over 2m at Christmas; 2lb wrong.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (66/1 +0%) Timmy Tuesday	66 66/1(+0%)	(10) Timmy Tuesday 66/1, The yard has won two of the last ten runnings of this race. He was pulled up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Navan latest, returns from a short break, and is effective at 2 1/2-3m, though his recent form has tailed off. Pulled up on latest two hurdling attempts in testing conditions; hard to be confident in.

14:25 Leopardstown (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

COUNTY FINAL has progressed rapidly since making his debut last May and will be suited by this test of stamina. The Eric McNamara-trained gelding opened his account in runaway fashion at Navan in September and after finishing second to subsequent winner Kotkito Bello over an inadequate 2m1f at Punchestown, again filled the runner-up spot behind Kazansky in a 2m7f Grade 2 at Limerick. Champagne Kid is bidding for a hat-trick after scoring over an extended 2m4f here at Christmas, while Duke Silver had several of these rivals behind when successful over a similar trip at this venue. Dippedinmoonlight and Son Of Anarchy are others to consider.

Wide open and perhaps a bit of value to be had in SAINT LE FORT, who looked to be crying out for this step up in trip here at Christmas

1	2 1st (2) (4/9 +17%) Romeo Coolio	0.444444 4/9(+17%)	(2) Romeo Coolio 4/9, Won the Racing Post Novice Chase (Grade 1) here last time, prevailing by 1/2l needing every yard. Effective at 2–2 1/2m and suited by decent ground. A top-class novice chaser and leading contender for the spring festivals, though he may ideally want a slight step back up in trip. The one to beat if getting a stiff test. A dual Grade 1 winner this term, sets a very high standard, slight doubt about the ground.
2	3 2nd (3) (2/1 -14%) Kargese	2 2/1(-14%)	(3) Kargese 2/1, A winner of three Grade 1s along with the County over hurdles, with the yard having landed the last three runnings of this race. Scored readily when winning a beginners chase here by 14l last time though main rival did fall. The trainer is in form and, an effective 2m performer, she is a classy hurdler with more to come over fences. Dual Grade 1 hurdles winner, well beaten on chase debut, unextended over C&D at Christmas.
3	1 3rd (1) (22/1 +0%) Downmexicoway	22 22/1(+0%)	(1) Downmexicoway 22/1, The yard has won two of the last ten renewals of this race. Improved again when dropping in trip last time, going away at the finish to win a handicap chase at Gowran Park by 3l. Effective at 2–2 1/2m and progressing over fences, with a slightly longer trip expected to suit but looks out of depth here. Has taken to chasing well, handicap winner, hardly in the same league as his two rivals.

14:55 Leopardstown (Class 1) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This appears to be a bit of a penalty kick now for ROMEO COOLIO after the defection of Kopek Des Bordes. Gordon Elliott's charge is three from three over fences and has already struck twice at the top level. He needed every yard of this trip to overhaul Irish Panther here at Christmas and more testing conditions should bring his stamina into play. Dual Grade 1-winning hurdler Kargese is the obvious danger. She was well held on her chase debut in Cork but opened her account in fine style here at Christmas. Downmexicoway is a nice horse in his own right but needs to improve to trouble the front pair.

Despite a slight concern about the ground, dual Grade 1 winner ROMEO COOLIO should have too much firepower for Kargese

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (9/2 +47%) Fact To File	4.5 9/2(+47%)	(3) Fact To File 9/2, Winner of four Grade 1s for a yard that has won this race three times running. Beaten 10l in the King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton last time where let down by jumping; effective over 2m4f-3m and runaway Ryanair winner remains a top-class performer. Held in this last year and probably better over slightly shorter. Went close in the John Durkan, needs to bounce back after a tame show in the King George.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +0%) Gaelic Warrior	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Gaelic Warrior 4/1, Winner of five Grade 1s for a yard that has taken the last three renewals. A short-head third in the King George VI Chase (Grade 1) at Kempton last time where rallied gamely; effective from 2m-3m1f and clearly top class though does have his quirks. Big player if stamina holds up but that not guaranteed on testing ground. Versatile in terms of trip, close third in the King George, decent chance if settling well.
3	6 3rd (6) (15/8 -7%) Galopin Des Champs	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(6) Galopin Des Champs 15/8, Winner of 12 Grade 1s and successful in this race in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Finished third, beaten 3 1/4l, in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here last time losing unbeaten record at track over fences; dual Gold Cup winner should come on for latest outing and can reverse form on easier ground. Dual Cheltenham Gold hero, three-time winner of this, should be spot-on after Savills run.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 +50%) Firefox	33 33/1(+50%)	(4) Firefox 33/1, From a yard that has won two of the last ten runnings. Ran to form when second, beaten 5l, in a graduation chase at Ascot last time; tongue-tie worn for the first time and best around 2 1/2m. Consistent but a bit to find in this company. Smart performer over shorter distances, first time beyond 2m5f now, vulnerable.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 +0%) I Am Maximus	9 9/1(+0%)	(8) I Am Maximus 9/1, From a yard that has won the last three runnings. Second, beaten 2 1/2l, in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here last time where looked slightly unlucky after being hampered by the winner late; effective up to marathon trips and an Irish and English National winner. He should be on the premises once again. 2024 Grand National winner, terrific effort in the Savills, could make presence felt again.
6th	11 6th (11) (33/1 +18%) Monty's Star	33 33/1(+18%)	(11) Monty's Star 33/1, Outpaced but back to his best when beaten 9l in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here last time, having been unsuited by how the race developed. Effective at around 3m and a fair level performer in Graded company but vulnerable at this level once again. Only one win over fences, can perform well at a high level, behind four of these last time.
7th	2 7th (2) (66/1 +0%) Champ Kiely	66 66/1(+0%)	(2) Champ Kiely 66/1, Winner of two Grade 1s and from a yard that has won the last three runnings. Comfortably held in the O'Driscoll's Irish Whiskey New Year's Day Chase (Grade 3) at Tramore last time by classy rival; effective over 2m-3m and progressive over fences until that run. Novice form looks weak for grade and needs more to figure in open company. Won a 3m1f Grade 1 novice at Punchestown last season, a lot to prove in senior ranks.
8th	7 8th (7) (25/1 +0%) Grangeclare West	25 25/1(+0%)	(7) Grangeclare West 25/1, From a yard that has won this race three times running. Fourth, beaten 6 1/4l, in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here last time where left with too much to do having been hampered early; effective up to extended distances and has an excellent Leopardstown record. National may be the main target but remains of interest. Second to Galopin Des Champs last year, fourth in the Savills, lively each-way chance.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (16/1 -14%) Inothewayurthinkin	16 16/1(-14%)	(9) Inothewayurthinkin 16/1, Winner of two Grade 1s but finished down the field in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here last time. Effective up to 3m3f and the Gold Cup winner needs further than 3m to show his best. Watching brief advised based on this season's form. Cheltenham Gold Cup hero has work to do to get back to top form after two runs this term.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (8/1 +11%) Affordale Fury	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Affordale Fury 8/1, Won the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here by 2 1/2l last time where got first run on rivals. Effective over 2 1/2m-3m and best at 3m; progressing now he is over earlier issues and is confirmed as top class with Gold Cup credentials though needs to prove as effective on testing ground. A deserving winner of the Savills, several of his victims may be closer to peak shape now.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (11/1 -57%) Spindleberry	11 11/1(-57%)	(13) Spindleberry 11/1, From a yard that has won the last three runnings. Won the Yorkshire Silver Vase Mares' Chase (Listed) at Doncaster by 6 1/2l last time; best around 2m4f and an unbeaten, classy mare over fences who has proven hugely progressive; this toughest test to date but big player if stamina holds up getting weight. Flawless record over fences (5-5) including a Grade 1 against geldings, not a forlorn hope.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (40/1 +0%) Lecky Watson	40 40/1(+0%)	(10) Lecky Watson 40/1, From a yard that has won the last three runnings. Made mistakes but ran to his best when well beaten in the Savills Chase (Grade 1) here last time; effective over 2m4f-3m1f but needs more in open company. Smart novice last term, initial ventures in senior company have not boosted his profile.

15:30 Leopardstown (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS ran a fine race in defeat here at Christmas and can land a remarkable fourth success in this race. The 10-year-old led two from home in the Savills Chase but couldn't sustain his effort, getting headed before the final fence. He has displayed a stunning finishing kick in the closing stages here in the past and he can give another masterclass at this venue. Affordale Fury really blossomed in the aforementioned contest and may well have to more to offer. Spindleberry is unbeaten over fences and it will be fascinating to see how she measures up, while Gold Cup winner Inothewayurthinkin will be expected to perform better after a couple of below-par efforts.

A chance for GALOPIN DES CHAMPS to record a fourth consecutive win in this event. He should be in peak shape after his Christmas outing

Effective at 2-2 1/2m with cut and progressing over fences. Could be well treated now tackling handicaps and looks a big player. Split a Mullins pair in a Grade 3 event at Punchestown, respected on handicap debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (25/1 -25%) Golden Joy	25 25/1(-25%)	(8) Golden Joy 25/1, Travelled well but did not find much up the hill when fourth, beaten 13l, in a handicap chase at Naas last time. Visor applied first time, effective at 2m with cut, but remains inconsistent. Easier ground will suit and looks on a fair mark based on his hurdle form. Pulled up in the race won by Addragoole in December, needs to step on recent Naas effort.
3	3 3rd (3) (7/1 +7%) Addragoole	7 7/1(+7%)	(3) Addragoole 7/1, Travelled well and improved on handicap debut, jumping much better when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off a 10lb lower mark here last time. Effective at 2m, best form with cut, and progressing over fences. Revised mark will demand another career best. Won over C&D on handicap debut, Thyestes-winning rider takes the sting out of 10lb rise.

Effective at 2m and progressing this term. Still looks on a fair mark and could follow up. Beat stablemate More Coko at Fairyhouse, fair chance of confirming that form.

Effective around 2 1/2m and does not stay 3m, with decent ground suiting. Progressive type who should have more to offer back down in trip though conditions a worry. Failed to stay 3m in the Paddy Power at Christmas; ground conditions not certain to suit..
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 -56%) An Peann Dearg	28 28/1(-56%)	(10) An Peann Dearg 28/1, Won this race last year but never threatened when all but brought down and finishing down the field in a handicap chase here most recently. Usually held up, effective at 2m1f, but can be inconsistent and looks risky. Out of form since winning this race last year, tailed off in C&D event won by Addragoole.
8th	13 8th (13) (10/1 +29%) Milan Forth	10 10/1(+29%)	(13) Milan Forth 10/1, Returned to form down in grade and trip when a fortunate winner due to a late faller, landing a handicap by 4l off a 3lb lower mark at Cork last time. Effective at 2 1/2m and fairly treated on hunter form but this looks sharp enough test. Former hunter chase winner, gained a handicap win last time, 2lb wrong but a handy weight.

Below form when eighth, beaten 36l, up in class last time off 137, now 1lb lower. Effective at 2-3m but on a stiff mark. Had Western Diego back in third when scoring at Fairyhouse, failed to uphold form latest.
9	9 \|F\| (9) (11/2 +27%) More Coko	5.5 11/2(+27%)	(9) More Coko 11/2, Improved down in trip when beaten 4l off an 8lb lower mark at Fairyhouse last time, helping set it up for a closer. Trainer is in form, effective at 2-2 1/2m, but inconsistent over fences. Could get an easier lead here and dangerous if allowed to dictate. Out of the handicap when second to Western Diego, might struggle to turn the tables.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 +0%) Dont Go Yet	33 33/1(+0%)	(12) Dont Go Yet 33/1, Had every chance but ran below form when making too much use of and doing best of those forcing the pace when comfortably held in a handicap chase here last time. Effective at 2m and generally consistent. Fair mark but strike rate a worry and vulnerable to improver. Veteran has performed creditably in races won by Drumgill and Addragoole, place chance.

Usually held up, effective at 2-2 1/2m, and inconsistent but well treated on old form. Faces an enormous task from 8lb out of the handicap in a highly competitive affair.
12th	7 12th (7) (18/1 -157%) Jasko Des Dames	18 18/1(-157%)	(7) Jasko Des Dames 18/1, Ran to form when second, beaten 7l, in a handicap chase at Cheltenham latest. Returning from a short break, is effective at 2m and should come on for that recent run but may not want conditions too testing. Second at Cheltenham in October, winner backed that up with an Ascot win, could feature.
11	11 \|PU\| (11) (7/1 +36%) Battle Of Ridgeway	7 7/1(+36%)	(11) Battle Of Ridgeway 7/1, Travelled well and improved down in class, with a fine ride to get first run on closers when landing a handicap by 3 1/2l off a 9lb lower mark at Navan last time.

16:05 Leopardstown (Class 1) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

JACOB'S LADDER has been running in some strong novice contests this season and looks capable of landing a big pot here off this mark of 143. The Mount Nelson gelding chased home a smart sort in Kappa Jy Pyke at Punchestown last time, having won his beginners chase in good style at Fairyhouse over 2m previously. He looks like a better chaser than he was a hurdler. Western Diego bounced back to winning ways in another valuable prize at Fairyhouse and is likely to enter calculations, despite an 8lb rise. Addragoole was a cosy winner here at Christmas but more testing conditions would be a slight concern.

These conditions should not inconvenience JACOB'S LADDER (nap), a handicap newcomer who has shown decent form in novice races

1	1 1st (1) (18/1 -29%) Broadway Ted	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Broadway Ted 18/1, Travelled well and made a very promising debut when a 2 1/2l winner of a bumper at Ayr. Returns after a short break, is effective at 2m and acts on heavy ground, but debut form was ordinary and plenty more is needed. Ayr winner faces much bigger test; three stablemates hold stronger claims.
2	7 2nd (7) (28/1 -12%) With Nolimit	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) With Nolimit 28/1, Improved for debut experience when going clear to win a Fairyhouse bumper by 1 1/4l last time. Effective at 2m and acts on soft and yielding ground, but despite progress, stablemates appear to hold stronger claims. Fairyhouse win came on better ground; going concerns.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/4 +7%) Charismatic Kid	1.75 7/4(+7%)	(2) Charismatic Kid 7/4, Quickened clear cosily to win a Navan bumper by 6 1/2l on debut. Returns from a short break, is effective at 2m and acts on heavy ground, with debut form boosted and more to come at this higher level. All-the-way Navan debut winner; since joined Gordon Elliott and likely major player.
4	4 4th (4) (9/4 -38%) It's Only A Game	2.25 9/4(-38%)	(4) It's Only A Game 9/4, Overcame trouble before going clear comfortably to win a Punchestown bumper by 3 1/2l last time, improving back from a break in a first-time tongue tie. Effective at 2m, acts on heavy and yielding ground, and the form has been franked. Punchestown win franked since; smart prospect who should go well.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/2 +58%) Rojuco Mac	2.5 5/2(+58%)	(6) Rojuco Mac 5/2, Ran to form when winning a Limerick bumper by 3/4l last time. That form has been franked. Usually held up, is effective at 2m and acts with cut in the ground, but needs to improve again now stepping up in class. Limerick winner faces stiffer task but yard in fine form and top rider booked.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 +29%) Generous Risk	10 10/1(+29%)	(3) Generous Risk 10/1, Ran to form when upped in trip, finishing third beaten 3 1/4l in a bumper here last time. Effective from 2m to 2m4f with cut in the ground, but the drop back in trip is not certain to suit. Return to more positive tactics should suit but needs to improve.
7th	5 7th (5) (18/1 +18%) Mossy Way	18 18/1(+18%)	(5) Mossy Way 18/1, Was a bit below form when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l, in a bumper here latest. Effective at 2m and in fair form, but may have reached his level in bumpers at this stage. C&D fourth at Christmas doesn't look good enough but return to heavy ground may suit.

Harry Swan takes the ride on CHARISMATIC KID and he may prove the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained quartet. The Affinisea gelding made a big impression when scoring for Colm Ryan on his debut at Navan in December and was subsequently snapped up by Gigginstown for 300,000 pounds. Elliott had the fourth horse that day, With Nolimit, who has won since and reopposes. The Martin Brassil-trained It's Only A Game commands the utmost respect. He was second at the Punchestown Festival on debut last May before running out a cosy winner at the same course on his return in November. Generous Risk has run some nice races without winning a bumper and could reach the frame again.

Gordon Elliott is four-handed but the quartet may have to give way to Punchestown winner IT'S ONLY A GAME

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
