17:30 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden (IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 7f | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This looks a typically informative Leopardstown juvenile maiden, with the market understandably centred on the Ballydoyle pair Ibelieveicanfly and Alpha, while Alpine Wedding adds depth for Paddy Twomey. It is not a race stacked with solid public form, though, and that makes it a touch trickier than the betting might suggest. Margot Mae is one of the few with a run under her belt and her sixth on debut gives her something tangible to build on, whereas Chiquitita Bee has already shown she has plenty to find. Draw and professionalism could matter over this 7f on yielding ground, especially with so many newcomers, but class from the big yards is still likely to decide it.
Top Selections
1. Ibelieveicanfly – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Ryan Moore siding with Ibelieveicanfly is the obvious headline and, in a maiden full of guesswork, that is not something to get cute about. Aidan O’Brien runs two, but the market has this filly clear and that usually speaks volumes from this yard in early juvenile contests. Stall 11 is not ideal, yet raw ability can easily trump a wide draw in a race where several will be learning on the job. At 6/4 she is hardly thrown in, but she still looks the one with the fewest questions to answer and the strongest chance of being above-average. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Margot Mae – 14/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 6 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 16
For an each-way angle, Margot Mae makes plenty of appeal simply because she has already shown a bit and should come on for that first experience. Her debut sixth does not scream future star, but in this line-up it gives her a more solid platform than most, and a mark of 66 is at least a respectable starting point in a race full of unraced fillies. Harrington’s juveniles can improve sharply from first to second run, and Shane Foley is the right man to deliver a measured ride from stall 8. At 14/1, she looks the value against rivals trading on reputation alone. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ibelieveicanfly is the win play and looks hard to oppose given the stable, jockey booking and market position. For those wanting a bit more juice, Margot Mae is the each-way punt at 14/1 after a fair debut effort. The obvious danger is Alpine Wedding, while stablemate Alpha also has to be respected from a good draw.

18:00 – BOYLE Sports Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 7f | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This is a proper Leopardstown handicap rather than a giveaway, with several of these arriving off workable marks and a few likely to improve for recent outings. Great Mover heads the market from a low weight and has the profile of one ready to strike, while Mehman brings the sort of rock-solid consistency that makes him hard to leave out of calculations. Dark Viper and Mallavelly are higher in the weights and both need to bounce back from below-par latest efforts, while Bella Isabella is better than she showed on return. Over 7f on yielding ground, track position and getting the fractions right will matter, and in apprentice company that always adds a layer of jeopardy. Competitive, yes, but not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Great Mover – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paddy Harnett | Trainer: W McCreery | Form: 5-0566 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 81
He has not been knocking the door down on paper this season, but there is enough in those runs to think he is about to hit his mark. A rating of 90 looks fair, he gets in here with just 124, and stall 4 should give Paddy Harnett options in a race where being stranded wide could be costly. McCreery’s horses often come to hand gradually, and this 4yo still has the look of one who can do a bit better than his bare figures suggest. At 4/1 with Bet365, he makes most appeal as the one with upside rather than just reliability. Bet: WIN
2. Mehman – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Conor Cusack | Trainer: P J F Murphy | Form: 322923 | Rating: 91 | Topspeed: 82
If you want the dependable each-way play, Mehman is the obvious answer. He keeps running his race, his recent form figures are solid without being flashy, and his latest third again advertised that he is holding his level well. From stall 3 he ought to get a clean, economical run round, and a mark of 91 is hardly beyond him given how regularly he has been hitting the frame. He is a 7yo now, so there may not be loads of improvement lurking, but in a race full of patchier profiles that consistency counts for plenty. The 5/1 on offer looks perfectly fair for an each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Great Mover is the win play, chiefly because he looks better treated than his recent finishing positions imply and could be ready to cash in off this low weight. Mehman is the sensible each-way alternative given his dependable profile and handy draw. Dark Viper is the obvious danger if bouncing back, while Bella Isabella is not one to dismiss lightly for a yard that can revive them quickly.

18:30 – King George V Cup (Listed Race)
Race Details: 1m 4f | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This has the look of a small-field Listed race dominated by Ballydoyle, and the market reflects that. Endorsement sets a clear standard on a mark of 116 and, with Ryan Moore taking over, he is the obvious one they all have to beat. Stablemate Amadeus Mozart is no back number either, but he was put firmly in his place by Endorsement on his latest outing and needs to find a chunk of improvement over this longer trip. Joseph O’Brien runs two, with Yousaynothingatall the more interesting after getting off the mark, while So Must I looks badly up against it on the figures. Emmeleia is a non-runner, which only sharpens the tactical element. In truth, this looks a pretty straightforward race rather than a deep puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Endorsement – 3/10 with Bet365
Jockey: Ryan Moore | Trainer: A P O’Brien | Form: 128-23 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 98
He is hard to oppose. A mark of 116 leaves him clear of this field and his recent form backs that up, having returned this season with placed efforts that read very well in the context of a race like this. Crucially, he finished ahead of Amadeus Mozart last time, so there is already a solid in-house line pointing to his superiority. The step up to 1m4f on yielding ground should hold no fears, and Ryan Moore aboard for Aidan O’Brien in a four-runner tactical affair is not a combination I want to get clever opposing. At 3/10 he is no gift to punters, but he still looks the most likely winner by some margin. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Endorsement is the win bet and the one horse in the line-up with notably stronger form than the rest. In a tiny field there is no each-way angle worth forcing, especially with only one place on offer. If you want to name the danger, Amadeus Mozart is the obvious one, while Yousaynothingatall is the only other runner with a bit of upside.

19:00 – Irish Stallion Farms EBF Median Auction Fillies Maiden
Race Details: 1m 2f | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This looks a fair maiden rather than a deep one, and the market has probably latched onto the right filly in Fleur De Provence after back-to-back seconds. She brings the standout rating of those with experience and sets the standard on bare form, though she is hardly meeting a field packed with hardened opposition. Bang Bang is the obvious danger after stepping forward into second last time, while Lake Bonney and Shanala both showed enough on debut to suggest there is more to come over this longer trip. The unknowns are interesting too, especially Mawhibah and My Girl Grace, who represent yards well capable of readying one first time. Still, this feels less like a guessing contest than some Leopardstown maidens, and proven form could count for plenty on yielding ground.
Top Selections
1. Fleur De Provence – 11/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: D K Weld | Form: 22 | Rating: 81 | Topspeed: 44
She is the one they all have to beat. Two runs, two seconds, and an official mark of 81 tells its own story in a race where most of these are either limited or still learning. Weld’s filly has already shown she can hold her position and see out her race properly, which is often half the battle in these fillies’ maidens. The move to 1m2f on yielding ground should hold no fears judged on the shape of her efforts so far, and Chris Hayes is exactly the sort you want aboard a short-priced maiden favourite at Leopardstown. At 11/8 she is no giveaway, but she is still hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Shanala – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Seamie Heffernan | Trainer: J P Murtagh | Form: 5 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 13
Shanala appeals as the each-way play in a race where a few of the once-raced types could improve plenty for this trip. Her debut fifth was a perfectly respectable starting point, and the Murtagh yard is more than capable of bringing one forward significantly from first to second run. The wide draw in 14 is not ideal, but over this distance there is time to find a position, and Heffernan is experienced enough not to panic early. She does not need a huge leap to get involved for minor honours, and at 6/1 she makes more each-way appeal than some of the shorter unexposed runners who are being asked to do it all on trust. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward: Fleur De Provence is the win bet because she has the strongest established form and sets a clear standard. Shanala is the each-way option in a 14-runner field, with scope to improve from her debut and enough about her profile to hit the frame. Bang Bang looks the main danger, while Mawhibah is the interesting newcomer if the market speaks positively.

19:30 – BOYLE Sports ‘Home Of The Early Payout’ Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This looks a proper little 3yo handicap rather than a throwaway mid-card affair, with several arriving on the up and not much between them on official figures. Monvoe brings the most obvious progressive profile after back-to-back wins, while Sweet Baby Zou is dangerously well treated on the face of it after scoring from a feather weight and remains low in the handicap. Johnny Soda has already shown he can be competitive in this grade, and Red Autumn is the type from the Weld yard who could easily step forward from a seasonal return. The yielding ground and this extra furlong should put the emphasis on who settles and sees it out strongest, and that makes it a race where tactical positioning may matter as much as raw ability. Tricky, but not impossible.
Top Selections
1. Monvoe – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Reese Holohan | Trainer: R P Cody | Form: 922-11 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 78
Monvoe is the one I want on side because he looks a straightforward progressive handicapper who still may not have stopped improving. The form figures tell the story: he signed off last season with solid placed efforts and has come back better than ever, winning his last two. A mark of 83 does not look excessive for a colt in this kind of nick, and that topspeed figure of 78 is the best in the field. There is always a question when the winning run meets deeper opposition, but at 4/1 he still makes plenty of appeal in a race where some of the others have a bit more to prove. Bet: WIN
2. Red Autumn – 8/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: D K Weld | Form: 1525-4 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 65
Red Autumn is the each-way play at the prices. He shaped well enough on his return when fourth, and that run should have sharpened him up nicely for this. D K Weld’s runners often improve for a run, and with Chris Hayes booked from a handy draw, there is a fair chance this horse gets a much smoother trip than some of his rivals. His juvenile form was perfectly respectable in stronger company than this, and a mark of 84 gives him room to be competitive if he takes the expected step forward. Available at 8/1, he looks the value alternative to the obvious improvers. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Monvoe is the win bet because he has the clearest progressive profile and arrives here with momentum behind him. For an each-way punt, Red Autumn appeals as one who should improve for his comeback and has the right connections for a race like this. Sweet Baby Zou and Johnny Soda are the obvious dangers, especially if the pace sets up kindly.

20:00 – BOYLE Sports Best Odds From 8am Handicap
Race Details: 1m 1f | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This is a proper Leopardstown handicap, deep enough to reward a strong opinion but messy enough to punish lazy ones. Diamond Exchange arrives on the back of a win and has the inside draw, while Harana is still lightly raced and could easily have more to offer after just two starts. Majestic King is thriving lower down the weights and looks sure to be popular, with Sonoran and Molto Amichi also bringing solid enough recent form into the race. The yield in the ground should make this more of a test than a simple tactical affair, so balance and the ability to travel matter. It is not a vintage handicap, but it is a competitive one, and there are a handful here who look well enough treated if things fall right.
Top Selections
1. Diamond Exchange – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Shane Foley | Trainer: Mrs John Harrington | Form: 63-131 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 76
He makes plenty of appeal. The recent form figures are those of a horse going the right way, and that latest win suggested he is learning how to get the job done rather than just threatening to do so. A mark of 82 still looks workable, especially when he also brings one of the better Topspeed figures in the field. Drawn in stall 1, Shane Foley should be able to hold a handy position and save ground, which can be worth plenty around here over this trip. At 6/1 with Bet365, he looks like the percentage call in a race where not many arrive with his blend of current form and upside. Bet: WIN
2. Harana – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: D K Weld | Form: 2-3 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 64
Harana is the interesting each-way angle because she could still be a fair bit better than an 80-rated handicapper. Only twice seen, she shaped well when second on debut and backed that up with a respectable third on her return, so there is no sign she has stopped progressing. D K Weld does not tend to waste runs with this type, and Chris Hayes is the sort you want aboard in a big-field handicap where patience matters. She does not have the battle-hardened profile of some of these, but that is exactly why 15/2 appeals: there may be more in the locker than the exposed ones around her. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Diamond Exchange is the win play, as he has current momentum, a good draw and a mark that still looks fair enough. Harana is the each-way punt in a race paying five places, with her lightly raced profile giving her obvious scope. Majestic King is the danger if his recent revival continues, while Sonoran is another to keep firmly on side despite a tricky wide draw.

20:30 – Leopardstown Premier Lounge Handicap
Race Details: 1m | | Going: YIELDING | | flat
This is a proper end-of-card three-year-old handicap and, with 17 runners, it is not lacking in moving parts. Chirac heads the market after getting off the mark last time and is an obvious starting point from a fair draw, but this looks deeper than a routine follow-up job. Nicky Larson has been threatening to win one of these and comes here from stall 1 with solid recent form, while Almeiyda is lightly raced and open to more improvement for Dermot Weld after a respectable return. Down The Glen and Cosmic Funk also have bits of form that make them interesting in a race where a low-to-middle draw could help if they go a good clip. Tricky puzzle, then, rather than a strong betting heat.
Top Selections
1. Nicky Larson – 9/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Julian Pietropaolo | Trainer: Paul Nolan | Form: 9-572 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 52
He looks ready to strike. That latest second suggested he is getting the hang of handicapping and, from stall 1, he should be able to hold a handy position without wasting energy. An opening mark in the high 60s still looks workable judged on the way he shaped last time, and there is a fair chance this mile on yielding ground will suit him well enough. He does not have the sexy profile of some of the less-exposed types, but he has more substance to his form than most in here. At 9/2, he makes plenty of appeal in a race where reliability counts. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Almeiyda – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Chris Hayes | Trainer: D K Weld | Form: 04-4 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 55
Almeiyda is the one I would want on side each-way because she still has a bit of untapped upside. Her comeback fourth was a perfectly fair effort, especially for one making just a fourth career start, and a mark of 67 could easily underestimate her if she steps forward as expected. Chris Hayes riding for Dermot Weld always catches the eye in these Leopardstown handicaps, and she has the profile of a filly who can travel well and pick up late off what should be an honest pace. With five places on offer, 15/2 looks a fair each-way price rather than a token saver. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Nicky Larson is the straight win play given his recent second and ideal inside draw. Almeiyda is the each-way alternative at a workable price, with enough scope to improve past this mark. Chirac is the obvious danger after that last-time-out win, while Down The Glen is another who would not surprise if getting a clean run from a good berth.
