17:15 Leopardstown Maiden 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	2 1st (2) (2.5/1 +29%) Bellezza	2.5 2.5/1(+29%)	(2) Bellezza 2.5/1, Foaled April 6. Siyouni filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 6f-1m winner Tranchee and useful 2-y-o 6f winner Tough Talk. Of obvious interest on debut. Home-bred with a Moyglare entry; of obvious interest with the stable juveniles doing well.
2	6 2nd (6) (33/1 -18%) Glor Tire	33 33/1(-18%)	(6) Glor Tire 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 20/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at this course (7.1f, good) 35 days ago. Needs to take another marked step forward. Faded from the front over 7f last time but seems to be going the right way; not discounted.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +20%) Brilliant	4 4/1(+20%)	(3) Brilliant 4/1, Once-raced filly. 4/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Likely to improve and isn't a forlorn hope for all that she has plenty to find. Could well be capable of above average improvement from Cork and play a hand here.
4	8 4th (8) (0.8/1 -10%) Navassa Island	0.8 0.8/1(-10%)	(8) Navassa Island 0.8/1, Twice-raced filly. 6½ lengths tenth of 17 to Porta Fortuna in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 20 days ago. Shaped with plenty of encouragement on debut prior to that and sets a clear standard. Naas run sets a clear standard and should be hard to beat; step up in trip should suit.
5th	11 5th (11) (14/1 +13%) With Style	14 14/1(+13%)	(11) With Style 14/1, Foaled May 4. €150,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Sister to smart 7f-1m winner Horoscope and half-sister to 2 winners, including Belgian/French 7f-9.5f winner Ave Eria. Dam maiden. One to note. Moyglare entry cost E150,000 as a yearling and looks one for the shortlist.
6th	5 6th (5) (80/1 +20%) Glimmerglass	80 80/1(+20%)	(5) Glimmerglass 80/1, Foaled February 23. Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 9f-12.5f winner Tres Belle and 1m/9f winner Ghzayel. Dam maiden (stayed 9.5f). Nice mixture of speed and stamina in her pedigree and should be worth watching.
7th	1 7th (1) (14/1 -180%) Andalusian Star	14 14/1(-180%)	(1) Andalusian Star 14/1, Foaled April 13. 80,000 gns yearling, Invincible Spirit filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Lord Uhtred. Interesting newcomer for top yard. Quite a speedily bred newcomer; no Group entries and might be best watched this time.
8th	7 8th (7) (150/1 -20%) Maple Star	150 150/1(-20%)	(7) Maple Star 150/1, Once-raced filly. 100/1, ninth of 13 in maiden at Cork (6f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago. Up in trip. Firmly up against it. Showed ability at Cork last month; unlikely player but likely to be of future interest.
9th	9 9th (9) (80/1 -100%) Soiree Dansante	80 80/1(-100%)	(9) Soiree Dansante 80/1, Foaled April 8. €21,000 foal, €26,000 yearling, Showcasing filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Perfect Number. Dam, 11f-13f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Golden Town. Good middle distance pedigree; best watched here but one that is a likely future improver.
10th	10 10th (10) (200/1 -60%) Time'll Tell	200 200/1(-60%)	(10) Time'll Tell 200/1, Twice-raced filly. 50/1, last of 17 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to soft) 48 days ago, hampered. Up in trip. Hard to make any sort of case for. Has beaten one rival in two starts and looks the first one to put a line through here.

LTO Selection:

NAVASSA ISLAND will appreciate this much easier assignment having run in the Albany Stakes last month. The Michael O'Callaghan-trained filly was sent off at just 5/1 for that Group 3 contest, on the back of a hugely promising debut at Naas. In all probability, the daughter of Territories didn't show her true ability at the Royal meeting, especially given that her narrow Naas conqueror won that particular contest. The O'Callaghan representative can win here before stepping back up in class. Glamora caught the eye staying on late on debut over course and distance in May but failed to build on that run last time. A tendency to break slowly hasn't helped the daughter of Zoffany. With Style, a full-sister to a Listed winner, is the most interesting of the newcomers.

NAVASSA ISLAND made a highly promising debut when second to Porta Fortuna at Naas and, while she failed to back that up behind her old rival in the Albany at Royal Ascot, she's likely to open her account back in calmer waters. Bellezza and With Style are both appealing newcomers.

Despite her Albany failure last time, the form of her unlucky Group 3 defeat at Naas makes NAVASSA ISLAND hard to overlook in a maiden

17:15 Leopardstown Maiden 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

17:45 Leopardstown Handicap 7f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
7	7 (7) (6.5/1 +0%) Saturn Seven	6.5 6.5/1(+0%)	(7) Saturn Seven 6.5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Limerick (7f, good) 19 days ago, all out. Up 5 lb but she's likely to give it a good go. Up 5lb for Limerick win but appears to be going the right way and should be thereabouts.
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -11%) Kings Time	5 5/1(-11%)	(3) Kings Time 5/1, Fourth of 10 in maiden at Fairyhouse (6f, good, 10/11) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut for in-form yard. Below his best when odds-on for a Fairyhouse maiden last month; gelded since; interesting.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/1 +8%) Rumbled Again	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Rumbled Again 11/1, Winner at Gowran in May. Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Listowel (7f, good) 39 days ago. That effort suggests the assessor has him. Too keen at Listowel last time but respected if coming back to his previous form.
3	4 3rd (4) (2.5/1 +38%) Encosta	2.5 2.5/1(+38%)	(4) Encosta 2.5/1, Very good second of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 10/1) 21 days ago. Enters calculations from 1 lb higher. Touched off on the line in a 1m handicap here last month; drop back to 7f could well suit.
4	1 4th (1) (1.75/1 +36%) Tough Talk	1.75 1.75/1(+36%)	(1) Tough Talk 1.75/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, respectable eighth of 15 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 47 days ago. Stamina for 7f isn't set in stone but he remains a major player from this reduced mark. Gelded since his last run and too early to write off but others preferred here.
5th	6 5th (6) (50/1 -100%) Eyeeye	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Eyeeye 50/1, 40/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 13 days ago. Hood back on. Has work to do. Drops back to 7f here; stable does well at this venue and hard to discount totally.
6th	5 6th (5) (11/1 +56%) Charming Lady	11 11/1(+56%)	(5) Charming Lady 11/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap at Naas (5.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago. Up in trip and her record has a patchy look to it. Steps up to 7f for the first time and could be capable of a bold showing if she gets home.

LTO Selection:

SATURN SEVEN may be able to follow up her Limerick win on handicap debut last month. The Ken Condon-trained filly travelled easily before quickening nicely over a furlong out. Although ultimately just lasting home by half a length, she idled in front and was value for more than the winning margin. A 5lb rise gives the daughter of Sioux Nation every chance of adding to that success. Encosta had a valid excuse for a disappointing reappearance at Naas but showed a great deal more when runner-up at this track last time. The Noel Meade-trained filly had some smart form as a juvenile last season and remains largely unexposed. Artemis Jones, who won her maiden nicely at Limerick in June, has to be considered despite a lack of handicap experience.

ARTEMIS JONES needs to improve to defy her current mark but that is very likely given her profile, so she's preferred to Tough Talk and Encosta.

The one to beat could be the progressive ARTEMIS JONES in her first handicap after a decisive maiden win at Limerick

17:45 Leopardstown Handicap 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:15 Leopardstown Handicap 8f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (16/1 -256%) Emeric	16 16/1(-256%)	(10) Emeric 16/1, 2 wins from 2 runs this year. 20/1, eleventh of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft) on hurdles bow 72 days ago. Back down in trip. Dual Dundalk winner; the champion jockey is booked and the stable is in terrific form.
2	1 2nd (1) (5.5/1 +15%) Coins Cross	5.5 5.5/1(+15%)	(1) Coins Cross 5.5/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good, 7/2) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Can give a good account. Equally effective over 7f/1m and every drop of rain which falls will suit; could go close.
3	8 3rd (8) (7/1 +65%) Eastern Wind	7 7/1(+65%)	(8) Eastern Wind 7/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 9/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at this course (9f, good) 28 days ago. Completely out of form this season and hard to fancy despite a plummeting handicap mark.
4	7 4th (7) (7.5/1 -15%) Touching Clouds	7.5 7.5/1(-15%)	(7) Touching Clouds 7.5/1, Eleventh of 13 in handicap (4/1) at Naas (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, slowly away. Fair chance off this mark at her best but needs to bounce back after disappointing at Naas.
5th	13 5th (13) (3.33/1 +26%) Eastern Legend	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(13) Eastern Legend 3.33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Roscommon (10f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. The drop back to 1m is likely to suit and could go well if ridden prominently.
6th	11 6th (11) (9/1 +50%) Thefullbackline	9 9/1(+50%)	(11) Thefullbackline 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable tenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good, 22/1) 13 days ago, not much room. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Ran well at the Curragh latest despite getting no run; no surprise if he's thereabouts.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/1 -13%) Pierre Lapin	9 9/1(-13%)	(6) Pierre Lapin 9/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, seventeenth of 18 in handicap (25/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) 13 days ago. Down to a mark of 78 now and more than interesting if he rediscovered some form.
8th	3 8th (3) (10/1 +44%) Spanish Tenor	10 10/1(+44%)	(3) Spanish Tenor 10/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, respectable ninth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good) 13 days ago. Chance on old form. Solid form this season; front-runner and every chance of being in the shake-up at his best.
9th	5 9th (5) (7/1 -75%) Helpmeout	7 7/1(-75%)	(5) Helpmeout 7/1, C&D winner. 13/2, good fourth of 17 in handicap at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. Merits consideration. Two good runs in competitive handicaps this season, most recently over C&D last month.
10th	14 10th (14) (66/1 -200%) Play It Again Zaam	66 66/1(-200%)	(14) Play It Again Zaam 66/1, First run since leaving Joseph Patrick O'Brien when fifth of 6 in handicap (9/2) at Limerick (8f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Disappointing on his handicap debut at Limerick last month; cheekpieces tried here.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 +52%) My Kurkum	16 16/1(+52%)	(9) My Kurkum 16/1, 50/1, eleventh of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) on IRE flat debut 13 days ago. Not a bad run at the Curragh; dropping back to 1m may well suit but a bit more is needed.
12th	2 12th (2) (20/1 +20%) Mulgrave	20 20/1(+20%)	(2) Mulgrave 20/1, 3 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Dundalk in February. 22/1, last of 13 in handicap at this course (9f, good) 35 days ago. Handicapper may have a tight enough grip of him now and others preferred here.
13th	12 13th (12) (100/1 -100%) Drakensberg	100 100/1(-100%)	(12) Drakensberg 100/1, Course winner. 50/1, twentieth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good) 13 days ago. Beaten a long way at the Curragh two weeks ago; should improve but has too much to find.
14th	4 14th (4) (100/1 -100%) Wild Mountain	100 100/1(-100%)	(4) Wild Mountain 100/1, Pulled up in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good, 9/1). Off 14 months. First run for yard after leaving Paul & Oliver Cole. Off the track since pulled up in a Newmarket handicap 14 months ago and best watched.

LTO Selection:

HELPMEOUT, a dual C&D winner last season, can register her first success of the current campaign. Willie McCreery's four-year-old only weakened close home in a similar race last time and should strip fitter with the benefit of that run. Mulgrave has yet to win on turf, but has five victories to his name on the Polytrack at Dundalk. The John McConnell-trained gelding is a hard puller who needs to get cover but Donagh O'Connor does very well on the son of Mehmas. The quicker they go here, the better his chance of recording a first turf win. Thefullbackline didn't enjoy the clearest of passages at the Curragh recently so is one to consider now that he is fitted with first-time cheekpieces.

EASTERN LEGEND has improved switched to handicaps this season and gets the vote taking on older horses for the first time. Helpmeout continues to shape well and is feared most ahead of Coins Cross.

A sporting selection goes to THEFULLBACKLINE who ran much better than his finishing position last time and has the aid of cheekpieces

18:15 Leopardstown Handicap 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:50 Leopardstown Handicap 9f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	15 1st (15) (4/1 +56%) Rampage	4 4/1(+56%)	(15) Rampage 4/1, 6/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 15 in handicap at Bellewstown (7.9f, good to soft) 7 days ago, sticking to task. Threatening to come good soon. Mark left unchanged after three good runs, twice over C&D; obvious chance.
2	1 2nd (1) (4.5/1 +44%) Complete Fiction	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(1) Complete Fiction 4.5/1, Bounced back to best to win a race for the second year running on return from 7 months off over C&D (good) 4 weeks ago, staying on to lead close home. 8 lb higher and likely to prove vulnerable for win purposes. Second to Smaoineamh Sile in this last year and gained second C&D success last month.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 +25%) Rockbury Lad	6 6/1(+25%)	(6) Rockbury Lad 6/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, returned to form when fourth of 14 in handicap at this course (7.2f, good, 9/1) 3 weeks ago, never nearer. Up in trip. Maiden's best form has come over 7f, including when fourth of 14 here last month; new trip.
4	7 4th (7) (12/1 +40%) Slamadoor	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Slamadoor 12/1, 6/1, shaped as if better for run after 5 months off when 3¾ lengths sixth of 14 to Vidala in handicap at this C&D (good) 4 weeks ago, forced to switch over 1f out. Can feature. Entitled to come on from C&D sixth to Vidala which was her first start in five months.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 +18%) Shona Mea	7 7/1(+18%)	(3) Shona Mea 7/1, Course winner. 10/3, run of good form halted when sixth of 12 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Blinkers back on and she's fancied to be in the mix after a short break. Three wins at Gowran and also successful here; beaten 2l over C&D when fifth to Vidala.
6th	4 6th (4) (7.5/1 -50%) Feature This	7.5 7.5/1(-50%)	(4) Feature This 7.5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Dundalk (8f, 11/4), staying on to lead close home. Off 3 months and operating from the same mark back on turf, she's fancied to be in the mix. Two wins and two seconds over 1m at Dundalk in the early part of the year.
7th	20 7th (20) (20/1 +0%) Kampala Beach	20 20/1(+0%)	(20) Kampala Beach 20/1, Went backwards from reappearance when 17½ lengths eleventh of 14 to Vidala in handicap (12/1) at this C&D (good) 4 weeks ago. Needs to get back on track. Better AW performer (1m2f win and twice placed) than on turf; long way off Vidala latest.
8th	21 8th (21) (50/1 +24%) Alqabeela	50 50/1(+24%)	(21) Alqabeela 50/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 8 in maiden (50/1) at Clonmel (9.6f, good to firm). Off 10 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Yard having decent season but 5yo unplaced in 16 starts since finishing runner-up on debut.
9th	9 9th (9) (7/1 +61%) Skontonovski	7 7/1(+61%)	(9) Skontonovski 7/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 22 in handicap at this C&D (good) 3 weeks ago, never nearer. Four AW wins and dual turf winner; C&D third to Complete Fantasy brings him into it.
10th	16 10th (16) (20/1 +39%) Magic Charm	20 20/1(+39%)	(16) Magic Charm 20/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Again ran below form when thirteenth of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (9f, good, 20/1) 13 days ago. 1m winner for Natalia Lupini; placed 1m/1m1f h'caps in the spring but well held last twice.
11th	17 11th (17) (50/1 +24%) Crystal Pool	50 50/1(+24%)	(17) Crystal Pool 50/1, Produced a laboured effort on first outing since leaving Patrick Martin after 10 months off when fourteenth of 15 in handicap at Roscommon (7.3f, good to soft, 25/1) 9 days ago. Back up in trip. Won twice in 2021 for Pat Martin; lost form last term and didn't show much on yard debut.
12th	18 12th (18) (11/1 +0%) Smaoineamh Sile	11 11/1(+0%)	(18) Smaoineamh Sile 11/1, C&D winner (this corresponding event) in 2022. 22/1, went backwards from reappearance when sixteenth of 22 in handicap at this C&D (good) 3 weeks ago. Dropped to a handy mark and dangerous to discount. Dual C&D winner last year including when beating Complete Fiction in this race; held since.
13th	5 13th (5) (20/1 +29%) Muhalhel	20 20/1(+29%)	(5) Muhalhel 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. Eighth of 20 in handicap at this course (8f, good, 16/1) just under 8 weeks ago. Yet to fire this season so has work to do. Eighth of 20 over 1m here in May, staying on; small place chance if building on that.
14th	8 14th (8) (25/1 +62%) Kalaroun	25 25/1(+62%)	(8) Kalaroun 25/1, Thirteen runs since last sole win in 2021. Fared no better after 4 months off when ninth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Bellewstown (12.1f, good to soft) 6 days ago. Down in trip. Chance on last year's form. Had a good run over 1m4f at Chester last year but no trace of that form since.
15th	10 15th (10) (28/1 +30%) Big Dream	28 28/1(+30%)	(10) Big Dream 28/1, 11/1, wasn't disgraced after 5 months off when fifth of 8 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good) just over 7 weeks ago. Beaten 2l off 69 over 1m here last year; not much since but okay run after a break at Ayr.
16th	22 16th (22) (33/1 +34%) Treble Cone	33 33/1(+34%)	(22) Treble Cone 33/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 40/1, fared no better after 9 months off when eighth of 12 in handicap at Gowran (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Okay C&D run in August but little in three starts since albeit better for Gowran comeback.

LTO Selection:

ROCKBURY LAD can get off the mark at the 14th time of asking. Michael O'Callaghan's four-year-old had no luck with the draw on a number of occasions last season and suffered a similar fate on his most recent run at this track. Forced to race wide off the home turn, the Showcasing gelding ran on strongly to be nearest at the finish. Stepping back up to a mile is a definite plus, as is the low draw in stall seven. Rampage, who has gone close on his last two visits here, is a consistent sort but won't find it easy from his wide berth. If James Ryan is able to negotiate a clear passage in the straight, the McCourt runner should be involved. The lightly-raced Boomerang Bill, who shaped well on his recent stable debut, has more scope for improvement than most.

This is wide open and while disappointing on her only start on turf, FEATURE THIS gets the verdict to pick up from where she left off at Dundalk 3 months ago and notch career victory number 3 from the same mark. Rampage is threatening to come good soon, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about, while Shona Mea, last year's winner Smaoineamh Sile and Bright Moment are just a handful of others to consider.

Several with a good record over C&D including RAMPAGE who has been doing little wrong and may get his turn

18:50 Leopardstown Handicap 9f PREDICTION SIMULATION

19:25 Leopardstown Handicap 9f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	9 1st (9) (7/1 +7%) Redstone Well	7 7/1(+7%)	(9) Redstone Well 7/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (5/2) at Ballinrobe (9.6f, good) 17 days ago, always holding on. Merits respect. More needed but showed a good attitude at Ballinrobe last time and could go well.
2	13 2nd (13) (16/1 +36%) Carracci	16 16/1(+36%)	(13) Carracci 16/1, Lightly-raced winner. Twentieth of 29 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm, 28/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Too soon to write off. Well held in competitive handicaps last twice and others look more likely this time.
3	5 3rd (5) (5.5/1 +0%) Coeur D'or	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(5) Coeur D'or 5.5/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (4/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago, readily. Up 10 lb for that but can't be ruled out. Up 10lb for last time which is not excessive; has a big chance if able to reproduce that.
4	11 4th (11) (20/1 +29%) Cordouan	20 20/1(+29%)	(11) Cordouan 20/1, 28/1, bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, running on. Has good chance on pick of form. Not at his best in two runs this season and others preferred this time.
5th	16 5th (16) (2.5/1 +64%) Lan Cinnte	2.5 2.5/1(+64%)	(16) Lan Cinnte 2.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/1, very good second of 11 in handicap at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Up in trip. Going the right way and might well get her head back in front. Good Curragh run; should be okay with the step up in trip; looks to be going the right way.
6th	15 6th (15) (66/1 -136%) Sirjack Thomas	66 66/1(-136%)	(15) Sirjack Thomas 66/1, Latest win at the Curragh in May. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap (33/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Seems to have lost his form. Nothing if not inconsistent; well capable of going close off this mark if the in the mood.
7th	1 7th (1) (28/1 +58%) Saltonstall	28 28/1(+58%)	(1) Saltonstall 28/1, Course winner. 40/1, twelfth of 18 in handicap at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, merely closing up late. Others make more appeal. A few more progressive types in opposition here and probably best watched this time.
8th	6 8th (6) (22/1 +21%) Star Harbour	22 22/1(+21%)	(6) Star Harbour 22/1, Below form sixth of 15 in novice hurdle at Ballinrobe (16.6f, good to soft, 5/2) 72 days ago. Useful on the Flat, respectable on last Flat outing. Not taken lightly. Tried over hurdles last season with limited effect; off since May and others appeal more.
9th	17 9th (17) (12/1 +52%) Lord Vader	12 12/1(+52%)	(17) Lord Vader 12/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable 5 lengths fourth of 15 to Alanya in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago, left with too much to do. Can get involved if everything drops right. May well improve a bit more but has a tough task here from 5lb out of the handicap.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 -22%) Good Too	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Good Too 11/1, First run since leaving Jean-Claude Rouget when fourth of 6 in minor event (9/2) at Gowran (9.4f, good to soft) on IRE debut 25 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Makes handicap debut. One to note in the betting. Needed the run on his stable debut at Gowran; totally unexposed and could go close here.
11th	8 11th (8) (7/1 +22%) Londoner	7 7/1(+22%)	(8) Londoner 7/1, Bit below form ninth of 15 in handicap at Royal Ascot (10f, good to firm, 18/1) 19 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Remains one to be interested in. Well beaten in an Ascot handicap; hard to assess but not impossible to see him involved.
12th	2 12th (2) (18/1 -64%) Monaasib	18 18/1(-64%)	(2) Monaasib 18/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Second of 4 in minor event at Fairyhouse (7f, good, 6/4) 27 days ago. Back up in trip. Not discounted. Consistent performer; best form is over shorter though and might find a couple too good.
13th	4 13th (4) (12/1 +33%) Jungle Cove	12 12/1(+33%)	(4) Jungle Cove 12/1, Course winner. 12/1, creditable 4¾ lengths third of 15 to Alanya in handicap at the Curragh (10f, good) 12 days ago. Likely to continue in form. Four-time winner, including off a 7lb lower mark in this race last year; each-way chance.
14th	12 14th (12) (8/1 +6%) Zabeir	8 8/1(+6%)	(12) Zabeir 8/1, Good third of 18 in handicap (16/1) at the Curragh (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago, faring best of those held up. Can't be discounted. Will need plenty of luck in running from an inside draw; big chance if things fall his way.

LTO Selection:

LORD VADER is an intriguing contender from the foot of the weights here. The Emmet Mullins-trained four-year-old stayed on nicely from the rear when fourth over a mile at Limerick on his second start for current connections. He then caught the eye when nearest at the finish under a relatively inexperienced amateur rider at the Curragh on Derby weekend. Leigh Roche takes over in the saddle now, with the horse running over what may well be his optimum trip. Coeur d'Or was a very impressive winner on his last start at this venue, suggesting that he may well be up to Pattern class. A subsequent 10lb hike isn't as much of a concern as his wide draw. Londoner disappointed at Royal Ascot but had some very smart form prior to that. Killian Hennessy is proving great value for his 5lb claim.

LAN CINNTE is progressive and shaped better than the result when second at the Curragh last time, so she's worth chancing with the longer trip expected to suit. Last-time-out winners Redstone Well and Alanya look major dangers.

The selection is ALANYA(nap), up 8lb for bolting up in the Ladies Derby on her Irish debut and chances are that there is more to come

20:00 Leopardstown Group 3 14f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	10 1st (10) (3.33/1 +33%) Shamida	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(10) Shamida 3.33/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Evens, won 12-runner maiden at this course (12f, good) 55 days ago by ½ length from Scarlett O'hara, driven out. Half a length too good for Scarlett O'Hara in 1m4f maiden here; should improve further.
2	1 2nd (1) (5.5/1 -100%) Divine Jewel	5.5 5.5/1(-100%)	(1) Divine Jewel 5.5/1, Useful filly. Very good 5½ lengths third of 6 to Quickthorn in listed race (12/1) at York (13.8f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Form pick. Third on seasonal debut behind two smart stayers on fast ground at York last month.
3	9 3rd (9) (7.5/1 +46%) Scarlett O'Hara	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(9) Scarlett O'Hara 7.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 13-runner maiden at the Curragh (12f, good, 13/8) 36 days ago, always holding on. Much more required. 1m4f winner seems sure to stay this trip and well-bred sort open to plenty of progression.
4	4 4th (4) (8.5/1 +23%) Amusement	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(4) Amusement 8.5/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 12/1, very good 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to Layfayette in listed race at Limerick (12.5f, good) 20 days ago. Yard in good form. Should continue to give a good account. 1m4f course handicap win came off just 79 but two creditable efforts in this grade since.
5th	2 5th (2) (25/1 -14%) Irish Lullaby	25 25/1(-14%)	(2) Irish Lullaby 25/1, Useful filly. 20/1, fifteenth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot (20f, good) 23 days ago. Back down in trip. Should go well again. Second in 1m4f Listed contest at Cork; stays this trip but well beaten last twice.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -71%) Powerful Aggie	12 12/1(-71%)	(3) Powerful Aggie 12/1, Useful mare. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 4/1, career best when winning 6-runner listed race at Down Royal (16.2f, good) 20 days ago by 1½ lengths from Taipan, driven out. Can make presence felt. Stays 2m well and won Down Royal Listed heat over that trip last month; more to do here.
7th	7 7th (7) (2.75/1 +39%) Library	2.75 2.75/1(+39%)	(7) Library 2.75/1, Useful filly. Career best when winning 9-runner listed race (5/1) at Naas (10f, good to firm) 15 days ago by head from Empress of Beauty. Respected. 1m2f Listed winner at Naas, rallying well to win narrowly; pedigree suggests she'll stay.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +0%) Understated	12 12/1(+0%)	(11) Understated 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Windsor in April. 16¾ lengths twelfth of 17 to Warm Heart in Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm, 40/1) 21 days ago. Runner-up in Goodwood Listed contest over 1m2f; too free when well held in the Ribblesdale.
9th	8 9th (8) (20/1 -67%) Red Riding Hood	20 20/1(-67%)	(8) Red Riding Hood 20/1, Useful filly. Hooded for 1st time, 18½ lengths fifteenth of 17 to Warm Heart in Ribblesdale Stakes at Royal Ascot (12f, good to firm, 80/1) 21 days ago, slowly away. Third in 1m2f Naas Group 3 when fitted with blinkers; well beaten in Oaks and Ribblesdale.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 +38%) Lambada	10 10/1(+38%)	(6) Lambada 10/1, Fairly useful filly. Creditable 2½ lengths fourth of 9 to Library in listed race at Naas (10f, good to firm, 15/2) 15 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Fourth over 1m2f at Naas in Listed race won by Library; nearly 3l to find with that rival.
11th	5 11th (5) (50/1 -52%) High Chieftess	50 50/1(-52%)	(5) High Chieftess 50/1, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at the Curragh in May. 9¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Layfayette in listed race (16/1) at Limerick (12.5f, good) 20 days ago. Weakened tamely when front-running tactics were employed in 1m4f Limerick Listed event.

LTO Selection:

LIBRARY, who seems to have improved since being fitted with blinkers, may be able to add to her recent Naas Listed win. The Aidan O'Brien-trained filly showed real heart and determination once challenged in the straight and wasn't for passing. On breeding, she should appreciate this step up in trip, while she looks just the type to prevail should the race turn into a battle. Stablemate Red Riding Hood will find this easier having raced in better company of late. She remains unexposed after just the six career starts so has to be a live contender. Understated struggled at Royal Ascot last month but is very lightly raced. The Ralph Beckett-trained daughter of Nathaniel still has time to deliver on the promise she showed at Goodwood.

DIVINE JEWEL ran a cracker when third behind a couple of smart sorts at York on her return and gets the vote back against her own sex. Powerful Aggie and Amusement head the dangers.

Game in victory over 1m2f at Naas, LIBRARY has to answer a stamina query but is taken to account for proven stayer Divine Jewel

20:30 Leopardstown Stakes 15f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds
1	4 1st (4) (1.62/1 +28%) Jesse Evans	1.62 1.62/1(+28%)	(4) Jesse Evans 1.62/1, Useful gelding. Bit below form second of 8 in minor event (7/5) at Bellewstown (12.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago, no match for winner. Back up in trip and may strip fitter for that run. Stays 2m1f on the level so 1m4f and a steady pace was no good to him at Bellewstown.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.62/1 -8%) Tax For Max	1.62 1.62/1(-8%)	(5) Tax For Max 1.62/1, Useful jumps winner and on the level. Won 6-runner novice chase (1/5) at Wexford (16f, good to soft) on debut over fences 23 days ago, easily. Big player on these terms back on the level. Ran nowhere near mark of 110 last year and current mark likely still flatters him.
3	2 3rd (2) (12/1 +25%) Magellan Strait	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Magellan Strait 12/1, Useful gelding. 28/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifteenth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (16f, good) 12 days ago. Blinkers now the headgear of choice. Never a factor over 2m at the Curragh last time; better than that and blinkers tried.
4	3 4th (3) (12/1 +40%) Female Soldier	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Female Soldier 12/1, Useful filly. Course winner. 7/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ballinrobe (12.8f, good) 17 days ago. Good track form, debut winner and fine fifth of 23 in Petingo Premier Handicap (1m5f).
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 +72%) Gatsby Grey	7 7/1(+72%)	(6) Gatsby Grey 7/1, Useful winner at 16f over hurdles. Eleventh of 25 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.6f, good to soft, 14/1) 77 days ago. Open to improvement on this just his second Flat start. Bumper and dual hurdles winner, rated 137 in the latter discipline; second Flat start.
6th	9 6th (9) (6/1 -100%) Suprise Package	6 6/1(-100%)	(9) Suprise Package 6/1, Useful jumps winner, making Flat debut. 12/1, 32¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Jonbon in Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, good), never travelling well. Off 15 months but he's a major player if fully tuned up. Top rider booked and yard flying but surely going to need his first outing in 15 months.
7th	7 7th (7) (200/1 -203%) Goodbye Someday	200 200/1(-203%)	(7) Goodbye Someday 200/1, Fairly useful jumps winner. First run since leaving John E. Kiely when last of 17 in maiden (80/1) at this C&D (good) on Flat debut 21 days ago. Three-time hurdles winner was tailed off in C&D maiden last month.
8th	8 8th (8) (250/1 -279%) Patrick Joseph	250 250/1(-279%)	(8) Patrick Joseph 250/1, Remains a maiden after 32 Flat runs. 250/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Bellewstown (12.2f, good to soft) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Longstanding maiden in all codes; no chance in this company.

LTO Selection:

Despite being rated lower than a couple of these over hurdles, TAX FOR MAX is very much the horse to beat on official Flat ratings. The Willie Mullins-trained gelding boasts a triple-digit mark, something few of these rivals could ever aspire to. A winner over fences at Wexford last month, the six-year-old arrives here in rude health. Jesse Evans is a very smart hurdler but has yet to reach those same heights on the level. It may be that the Noel Meade-trained gelding just needs a set of hurdles in front of him. Gatsby Grey could be the most interesting contender, given that he is a decent National Hunt horse who is totally unexposed in this sphere. Trainer Oliver McKiernan does well in these races, so the seven-year-old deserves maximum respect.

TAX FOR MAX is better known as a useful jumper but he's a major player on these terms back on the level so he looks the one to beat. Jesse Evans is a big danger back over a more suitable trip, with Suprise Package interesting on Flat debut.

With the benefit of last week's return at Bellewstown under his belt and back over a more suitable trip, JESSE EVANS is the selection

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.
