17:30 Leopardstown Maiden 7f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

Aidan O'Brien introduces three regally bred newcomers, with Ryan Moore aboard BUTTONS, who is a token choice. Out of 2011 Epsom Oaks runner-up Wonder Of Wonders, she is a half-sister to Listed winner So Wonderful, who was twice-placed at the highest level. Seamie Heffernan takes the ride on Opera Singer, who is out of Group 3 winner Liscanna. She has already produced Hit It A Bomb, winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf in 2015 and 2016 Cheveley Park Stakes victor Brave Anna. Wayne Lordan gets the leg up on Content, who is out of brilliant dual-Group 1 winner Mecca's Angel. Hudson River was her first foal and he managed to win on debut, finishing down the field on his only subsequent start. Tachos is out of a sister to Glorious Empire, a winner at the highest level in America and she looks the most interesting of the remainder.

Aidan O'Brien's 3 well-bred fillies make the most appeal on paper, namely BUTTONS, Content and Opera Singer, the first named the pick on jockey bookings.

Practically no form to go on so the percentage call is the Ballydoyle pick BUTTONS

Fitted with cheekpieces for the first time, CHAVAJOD ran out a convincing winner over the course and distance last month on what was his debut for Denis Coakley. Coakley's son Ross returns home from the UK to partner the Toronado gelding, who will be well-fancied to follow-up, despite an 11lb rise. A case can be made for many others in this wide-open contest. A dual course and distance winner, Helpmeout was fourth of 20 on her return to action at the Curragh last month and it'll come as no surprise if she manages to go a few places better now. Six-time winner Jered Maddox was also fourth in a competitive affair at the Curragh recently and he should give a good account of himself with Declan McDonogh aboard. A fast-finishing second at Cork last month, Dagoda is sure to have plenty of supporters with Colin Keane booked to ride, while others for the shortlist are Fastman, Eloquent Arthur and Jaafel.

A host in with chances but HELPMEOUT shaped encouragingly after 9 months off when fourth at the Curragh just under a fortnight ago and, having been successful on this card last year, she can repeat that feat and notch career victory number 3. The booking of Colin Keane catches the eye for Dagoda so she may emerge as the main danger, with last-time-out winner Chavajod and Plunkett another couple to consider.

Considering she had not run since last August, HELPMEOUT performed well at the Curragh recently and may now record a third C&D win

18:30 Leopardstown Listed 9f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

MOON DE VEGA, Salt Lake City and Kerkiyra appear the three to focus on, with preference for the Paddy Twomey-trained former. A respectable eighth in the Epsom Oaks last season, she impressed on debut for current connections at Gowran last month. Fitted with cheekpieces and a tongue-strap for the first time at the Co Kilkenny venue, they remain in place now. Kerkiyra is given second preference, after finishing a good third on her return to action in a Group 3 at the Curragh. Successful on Irish Champions Weekend last season, the Johnny Murtagh-trained bay has finished no worse than third on her last eight starts. Salt Lake City was fifth in the Futurity Trophy Stakes when last seen at Doncaster in October, finishing ahead of subsequent Epsom Derby runner-up King Of Steel. Getting a weight allowance on account of his age, the Galileo colt could prove a class apart, but may just need the run.

Having ended 2022 on the up, KERKIYRA produced a solid comeback effort when third in a Curragh Group 3 in March and with the step back up in trip rating a likely plus, she could be the answer. Moon de Vega, an impressive winner on stable debut at Gowran, can also figure, whilst Salt Lake City remains low-mileage now embarking on his 3-y-o campaign and is respected in receipt of weight all round.

A decisive winner on her first start for Paddy Twomey recently, MOON DE VEGA can land a valuable black-type win for connections

Second in this contest 12-months ago, COILL NA SIONAINNE might be able to go a place better now. She has been hinting at a return to form of late and ran well to finish fourth at Fairyhouse last week, after being hampered in the early stages. Interestingly, Billy Lee is reunited with the daughter of So You Think for the first time since last July. Just half-a-length separated Sirjack Thomas and Coeur D'or at the Curragh on Guineas weekend, with the latter taken to reverse the form. The Dermot Weld-trained seven-year-old came from the clouds to finish a never nearer second and should appreciate this slightly longer trip. John McConnell is represented by interesting contenders in the shape of Higher Kingdom and Mulgrave. The latter has yet to win on turf but completed a quick hat-trick at Dundalk in February, finishing a close-up fifth in a valuable contest at Lingfield on Good Friday. Longbourn, Malabu Drive and Independent Expert are others for the shortlist.

COEUR D'OR was returning from a 4-month break when a close second to Sirjack Thomas over a mile at the Curragh recently and is taken to reverse the placings with that rival here. Dermot Weld's charge enjoys a 3 lb pull with the winner and shapes as though this slight step back up in trip will be in his favour. Independent Expert has put in good shifts on her last 2 starts and is likely to be in the thick of things, while the lightly-raced Malabu Drive is also shortlisted.

This could boil down to a rematch of a recent Curragh race. Runner-up COEUR D'OR may turn the tables on the winner Sirjack Thomas

19:30 Leopardstown Listed 12f Race Speed Rating Flow

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

From an initial mark of 79, the progressive NEW VARIANT is now rated 98. The chestnut gelding made the breakthrough at Tipperary in April and followed-up in style at Naas, winning by no less than 10-lengths. He has a tougher assignment on his hands now, stepping up to Listed company for the first time. The O'Brien family are responsible for the opposition, with Aidan's Tower Of London appearing the main danger. While ultimately disappointing in two starts since winning his maiden on debut, he may appreciate a return to quick ground. Amusement got off the mark over the course and distance last month and she can't be dismissed. Shamwari and Thunder Roll both went close on debut and they are obviously well-regarded to be pitched in at this level as maidens.

Cases can be made for all five of these. NEW VARIANT tops the list on the back of an impressive victory in a minor event at Naas where he looked a potentially pattern-class performer in the making. Joseph O'Brien fields a couple of promising once-raced fillies in Shamwari and Thunder Roll, while Tower of London can be expected to give it a good shot and it's unlikely that Amusement will be far away either.

A commanding winner at Naas last month, NEW VARIANT looks a much improved performer and could prove the one to beat

With Conor Stone-Walsh claiming a valuable 7lb, MORPH SPEED is the suggestion in this competitive affair. A five-time winner, he claimed this race in 2021 and has hinted at a return to form in two starts since joining Joseph O'Brien. Rated 91 last year, the seven-year-old has been given a chance by the handicapper and is now on a mark of 80. Theophilos came home strongly and went down by just a neck when attempting to follow-up on his Tipperary success at Ayr. He steps up in trip now to 1m4f and this should play to his strengths. Tronador is an interesting contender for Gordon Elliott. A Grade 3 winner over flights, he won on the level at Bellewstown last summer and was twice placed at Dundalk in December. Top-weight Hazy Mehmory was sixth on her return to action here last month and should come on for that effort, while others for the shortlist are Danza Della Luna, Last Ammo and three-time French victor Agenda.

THEOPHILOS is on the up and shaped best (conceded first run) when second at Ayr recently, so he's fancied to resume winning ways back on home soil. Last Ammo and Hazy Mehmory are also likely to make their presence felt.

The extra furlong should help LAST AMMO who was staying on in the closing stages when third at Roscommon last week

Tom Gibney has his horses in tremendous form of late, saddling five winners from his last 11 runners. DROP THE DIP is included amongst those winners, after she landed a gamble at Listowel on Saturday. Encountering quick ground for the first time, the Smooth Daddy filly made virtually all and comfortably accounted for her nine rivals. Upped 8lb for that win, she will carry a 7lb winners penalty here. First and second at Cork last month, Summer Snow and Angel's Feather reoppose and are sure to prove popular with punters. There was a length between them at the Mallow venue and are closer in the weights now. An unlucky third at Roscommon recently, it'll come as no surprise if Cherry Pink gains compensation. The market could speak favourably for one of the eight handicap debutants in the line-up. Ger Lyons saddles two of them, with the well-bred Mobilise of definite interest, being a brother to dual Group 2 winner Threat.

CHERRY PINK rates just about the pick of these weights and with this step up to 1m also a plus she is taken to gain a breakthrough success. Recent Listowel scorer Drop The Dip is next on the list despite saddling a 7 lb penalty, with in-form pair Angel's Feather and Summer Snow two more who merit consideration in a very open-looking handicap.

Cork 7f winner SUMMER SNOW may prove even more effective over the extra furlong and can uphold form with runner-up Angel's Feather

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.
