13:40 Leopardstown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CAPTAIN CODY narrowly holds Backtonormal and Blizzard Of Oz on Naas form and showed ability in bumpers at this shorter distance. All three are closely matched on these same terms, with the selection having also defeated Backtonormal by 10 lengths, when 5lb better off, in January. The selection also also defeated stablemate Blizzard Of Oz by 6.5 lengths when receiving 5lb in a January 2023 bumper. Blizzard Of Oz's finishing effort at Naas was disappointing but, of the trio, he is a strong-traveller who could be most suited by this distance. Top-weight The Other Mozzie defeated Purse Price by 4.5 lengths to win at Down Royal in December but is now 12lb worse off. Both have been well beaten on their most recent runs though. Bumper winner Mill House Creek debuts over hurdles against experienced rivals, following a break.

Willie Mullins looks to hold a strong hand and his very good prospect CAPTAIN CODY is confidently expected to resume winning ways on the back of an excellent recent Naas second. Stablemate Blizzard of Oz fluffed his lines when fifth at Naas last time but remains capable of better and is next on the list ahead of Backtonormal and The Other Mozzie.

Captain Cody is likely to be a warm order but his stablemate BLIZZARD OF OZ may be worth chancing back down in trip

14:15 Leopardstown Maiden Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CROOKED TANNIE returned to form when failing to concede 8lb to a Cheltenham-bound winner last month. He defeated today's rival Master Otis easily when 5lb worse off at Tipperary last July and showed that old sparkle at Thurles. Zeeband was a stayer on the flat but his best hurdles' form was achieved over this distance in January. The nicely-in Gowran runner-up scored subsequently but both he and Clonshire River had been well beaten in a Christmas handicap hurdle. Clonshire River has recent form but might struggle to win. Gabriel Ranger is a dark horse and while beaten four and three-quarter lengths by Master Otis last March, was in contention when falling behind Clonshire River at Thurles. Previously reported to have 'hung violently right' at Punchestown in January, he isn't straightforward but has ability. Master Otis ran well behind easy winner Tullyhill in January but flopped recently. Lord Vader has some heavy-ground flat form but might prefer a sound surface.

A repeat of the form CROOKED TANNIE showed when second at Thurles last time will likely be good enough to go one better now. Clonshire River is another who arrives on the back of a runner-up effort at Thurles and rates an obvious threat. The shortlist is completed by Lord Vader whose Flat ability provides him with the potential to leave his C&D hurdle debut form behind.

GABRIEL RANGER was in the process of running a nice race before coming down last time and he may build on that run

14:50 Leopardstown Conditions Hurdle 18f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

ASHDALE BOB mightn't need to improve in today's first-time cheekpieces to win, as he takes a breather dropping in grade. His previous win came in April 2021 but has contested many hot races since and while dropping in distance isn't ideal, retains good ability. Veteran Cash Back won a legless Clonmel hurdle in December and while beaten in a more charitable event at Punchestown on February 18, might still struggle to concede 5lb to the selection. Consisstent novice Dee Capo ran well behind a useful winner at Navan in November. He returns from a break with his rider claiming 5lb but faces a stiff test. Nine-time winner Effernock Fizz is held by Cash Back on July form while Sir Allen has plenty weight.

ASHDALE BOB hasn't managed to get his head in front for almost 3 years, but he's shaped as if as good as ever this season, so Jessica Harrington's 9-y-o gets the nod back down in trip/grade. Cash Back came out on top in what was an attritional contest at Clonmel a few months ago and he looks like the most obvious danger on return, with Dee Capo seemingly best of the remainder.

CASH BACK is a consistent sort and while his latest win came over three miles, he's looked just as effective over this sort of trip

15:25 Leopardstown Handicap Hurdle 16f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

CLEAR THE CLOUDS is a 13-race maiden who drops in distance but has recent heavy-ground form. Placed over 2m1f last July, his two recent runs have been encouraging, with the winner of the Navan race boosting the form by scoring subsequently. Gamigin was beaten in his first 17 hurdle runs but has won his last two. He is 8lb higher than when winning at Down Royal but his same rider claims an extra 3lb. Tuckmill was reported to have blood at both nostrils on each of his last two runs, including when winning in December (with Sunwalk finishing fifth and Ivane seventh). He returns from a break on more testing ground and is 5lb higher than at Naas, when his rider claimed 4lb. Clever Currency won last year's renewal but was well beaten twice recently. Milk Market debuts in handicaps returning from a break while Magic Olinger ran well on his own recent handicap bow. Coillte Aris was gambled at Clonmel and is now tried in a first-time tongue-tie while first reserve Papa Barns was reported to have hung badly left on his previous run and reverts down in distance.

GAMIGIN has an 8 lb weights rise to overcome but Noel Kelly's thriving 6-y-o is still fancied to complete a hat-trick given the smoothness of his two successes at Ayr and Down Royal. The much less exposed Magic Olinger has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Coillte Aris, Clear The Clouds and Milk Market.

It might be worth taking a flyer on POETS COTTAGE who has had excuses on his last couple of starts and he may resume progress

16:00 Leopardstown Handicap Chase 22f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

The lightly-raced SNAKE OIL won a 2m4f Fairyhouse maiden hurdle and, following a year lay-off, has shaped well in handicap chases over shorter trips including at this venue. The Barry Connell-trained gelding was beaten just over a length at Naas last time and should be suited by this step up in distance. Birchdale landed the valuable Leopardstown Chase off a similar mark two years ago and won a cross country race at Punchestown on his last completed start. Now Where Or When can be fancied on his third to Kemboy in the Bobbyjo Chase last year, while Grandero Bello handles soft ground well but needs to overcome an absence of over ten months. Digby has come up against some useful sorts over fences and now tackles handicap company.

NOW WHERE OR WHEN has had excuses since an excellent third in a Grade 3 at Fairyhouse a year ago so could be worth chancing off a tempting mark back in a handicap. Genois and Digby head the dangers.

Preference is for the gradually improving SNAKE OIL, who will appreciate the step up in trip on this ground

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

WHERE'S FRANKIE is a real Fairyhouse specialist (his last nine runs have been at the track) gaining all four career wins at that course over three miles and further. The Karl Thornton-trained gelding showed great reserves of stamina when successful over 3m2f on his penultimate outing, with Pictures Of Home about six lengths behind in fourth, and hopefully he can translate his good form to this venue. Young Dev stays well and is suited by testing ground and returned to form when scoring at Navan last month. Cavalry Master has dropped in the ratings and gave some encouragement at Gowran last time, while any support for Outside The Door would be interesting.

CAVALRY MASTER took a big step back in the right direction fitted in this headgear when second at Gowran 2 weeks ago and is potentially on a good mark if building on that. Where's Frankie and Pictures of Home are feared most.

The selection is WHERE'S FRANKIE(nap) who stayed well to win at Fairyhouse before a good run over shorter there last time

Just two of these have run and Buckaway Freddie showed some promise when runner-up to Kap De Triomphe in a five-runner event at Naas. It may pay to rely on one of the newcomers and perhaps NITTY GRITTY can make a successful start. The Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding is from the first crop of Order Of St George and hails from a family of bumper winners including his half-sister Lionnar who scored at the Curragh last summer. Rural Link, a half-brother to Cuban Hope who won five times up to 1m4f, is a rare bumper runner for Jim Bolger while Man Of Action and Kilbarry Ace have eye-catching jockey bookings and are others to note in the preliminaries and the betting market.

BUCKAWAY FREDDIE will come into his own over longer trips tackling obstacles but he still looks up to winning a bumper first judged on a promising runner-up effort at Naas 3 weeks ago. Glynn Brae and Rural Link could be the pick of the newcomers.

This can go to Joseph O'Brien newcomer NITTY GRITTY who looks bred for the part

About U.K Horse Racing

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. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. 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.
