Leopardstown

Irish Stallion Farms EBF Paddy And Maureen Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle (Listed)

Cousin Kate

Dameauscottlestown

Whimsy

Maxios Prime

Plenty to consider but COUSIN KATE is improving rapidly and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Dameauscottlestown made a mockery of her opening mark at Punchestown and makes the shortlist despite a 15 lb hike, while Siog Geal shaped best for a long way at Cheltenham last time and remains of interest. 

Ladbrokes Novice Chase (Grade 1)

Kaid D'authie

Willie Mullins can take this for the sixth time since 2020 courtesy of the hugely exciting FINAL DEMAND. Western Fold enjoyed an excellent first half of the season and can follow him home. 

Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (Grade 1)

Talk The Talk

Ballyfad

King Rasko Grey

Preference is for TALK THE TALK, who looked set to extend his unbeaten run over hurdles to 3 when falling at the last in Future Champions Novices' Hurdle here in December. He can gain compensation, though King Rasko Grey isn't taken lightly given Willie Mullins' record in this race, while the unbeaten Ballyfad also has to be considered in what looks a fascinating renewal.

Ladbrokes Dublin Chase (Grade 1)

Majborough

Marine Nationale

Although MARINE NATIONALE currently trails Solness 3-0 in head to heads over C&D Barry Connell's charge looked unlucky not to come out on top at the Christmas meeting and can take his revenge now. Majborough wasn't too far behind that pair on that occasion and is the obvious next best. 

O'Driscolls Irish Whiskey Leopardstown Handicap Chase (Grade 3)

Backmersackme

Win Some Lose Some

Waterford Whispers

Dee Capo

KIM ROQUE has posted 2 decent efforts at Cheltenham since joining Joseph O'Brien and might prove the answer with further improvement possible. Kinturk Kalanisi showed he can cope with the demands of a big-field handicap here when third over Christmas and heads the many dangers along with Dee Capo, last season's Plate runner-up Thecompanysergeant and Waterford Whispers, who failed to fire when a short-priced favourite last time but is the mount of Mark Walsh from the McManus contingent. 

Timeless Sash Windows Irish Champion Hurdle (Grade 1)

Brighterdaysahead

Lossiemouth

LOSSIEMOUTH and Brighterdaysahead were first and second in the December Hurdle over C&D 5 weeks ago and can dominate again, the former fancied to confirm the placings and record her 10th Grade 1 success. El Fabiolo seemed to relish the return to hurdles at Punchestown and is best of the others. 

Padel At Leopardstown Golf Launching Spring 2026 Handicap Hurdle (0-150) (Listed)

Bowensonfire

I Started A Joke

Kimi De Mai

Murcia

Useful bumper winner I STARTED A JOKE was much improved to get off the mark over hurdles and he can make a winning start in handicaps with Sean Bowen aboard. Putapooundinthejar finished a creditable sixth in the Greatwood last time and it would be no surprise to see him back to his best for the shrewd Tony Martin stable, while Willie Mullins has a typically strong hand, Murcia the choice of Paul Townend following her encouraging reappearance behind Talk The Talk.

Coolmore N.H. Sires Los Angeles Irish EBF Mares I.N.H. Flat Race (Grade 2)

Moonverrin

Royal Hillsborough

Tiktok Casey

BROSNA SHINE looks well worth this step up in grade and she's fancied to follow up her impressive Fairyhouse victory. Royal Hillsborough has mixed it in useful company this season and shaped well last time, she's feared along with improving Cheltenham bumper scorer Celestial Tune. Wonderful Everyday finished ahead of Brosna Shine on debut and has to enter calculations if back to her best. 

Musselburgh

bet365 Scottish Supreme Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Onlyforfrankie

This looks a good opportunity for MOSSY FEN ROAD to extend his unbeaten record over hurdles en route to bigger targets in the spring. Captain Hugo can give him most to think about, his only defeat in three starts over hurdles coming at the hands of an exciting prospect.

bet365 Frodon Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Go West

Elysian Knight

DEDICATED HERO made a promising chase debut when second at Ayr and his opening mark in this sphere looks lenient on the back of that. Queens Gamble shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on her chase bow at Bangor and is feared most. 

bet365 Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Pure Carbon

Aeros Luck

KOUKEO and Pure Carbon both still have plenty of upside over fences and the former is taken to extend his winning sequence as a chaser. Parisencore is preferred of the more-exposed runners, he's capable of running well fresh and returns on a workable mark. 

Position Payout At bet365 Handicap Hurdle

Speiriuil

The G Wizard

Rememberthename

Several with possibilities in this competitive affair. THE G WIZARD's latest C&D maiden second received a boost when the winner followed up in a big-field handicap and Nick Alexander's charge gets the nod to make a successful handicap debut. Speiriuil, Summergrounds and Adrian Keatley's new recruit Newtown Rambler head the many dangers. 

bet365 Edinburgh National Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Transmission

Rock My Way

ROCK MY WAY shaped as if still in good form in the Welsh National at Chepstow and can quickly resume winning ways back in calmer waters. Grozni was back to his best when scoring at Kelso and was fourth in last season's Scottish National off a similar mark. Magna Sam is bidding for a third win in this race and this has likely been the target again. 

Pertemps Network Group Handicap Hurdle (GBB Race)

Red Risk

Idem

Beachcomber

SONIGINO stepped forward from his reappearance run when third at Sandown 29 days ago, rallying well from the last, so he is taken to return to winning ways upped in trip. Heading the list of dangers is Double Powerful, who got back on the up when second in the Lanzarote last time, while Highland Fashion could still have more to offer as a stayer.

Dearkeithandkaty

Whiskey On Ice

Reflection Of You

DEARKEITHANDKATY found only a similarly unexposed improver too strong on just his second start in handicaps at Carlisle in November and, with further progress distinctly possible now his stamina is tested further, he looks to hold sound claims. Irish raider Take Chance is an obvious danger with Brian Hughes an eye-catching booking. Lizzie Luna is another on the shortlist.

Market Rasen

Market Rasen Racecourse Caravan Site Conditional Jockeys' Novices' Handicap Hurdle

Cooler Than Me

De Deli Counter

Annie Nail

WIND YOUR NECK IN could benefit from this step up in trip and gets the vote in an opener where few arrive with compelling claims. Glenmuick and Cooler Than Me rate possible improvers in handicaps, particularly if the betting speaks in their favour. 

Book Into Our Altior's Resturant Today EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)

Cinquenta

Gee Force Flyer

GEE FORCE FLYER built on his hurdles debut promise when beaten only by a subsequent winner over this sort of trip at Ffos Las in November and, appealing as the type to progress further, he rates a lead player here. Cinquenta has made a sound start himself over timber and is an obvious threat. Jukebox King, Seamoon Story and Roi du Risk are others holding legitimate claims.

Easter Sunday Racing Ft. Classic Vehicle Rally Novices' Handicap Chase

Grandad's Cap

Worth The Walk

GRANDAD'S CAP shaped well on his 19f Catterick chase debut and is taken to build on that promise now stepping back up significantly in trip. Alltalknoaction was a good second over C&D on Boxing Day and is second choice ahead of Try The Money. 

Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide Handicap Hurdle

Gold In The Rivers

Secret Trix

Unexposed 6-y-o OUTER BANKS pulled clear with another progressive sort when making a winning handicap debut at Wetherby in February and he's fancied to follow up on his return. Lightly-raced Sunshine Diamond went with plenty of enthusiasm when burning off all bar one of his rivals at Warwick last time and may prove the main danger, while Campaign Trail is another to note given his record when fresh. 

Weatherbys Bloodstock Sales Review Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Immortal Fame

Impatient

SMURFETTE looked better than ever when going close on her belated return at Uttoxeter last month and is preferred to Impatient and Kayce Dutton, who both revived when winning last time. 

Summer Plate Ladies Day 18th July Handicap Hurdle

Kalkaroo

Mr Zee

Thesoldiersminit

MR ZEE scored in ready fashion at Wincanton so can defy a 5 lb rise in which few make much appeal. Abbey Law and No Guarantee are feared most. 

Market Rasen Racecourse Racing All Year Handicap Chase

Florita

Chief Black Robe

GRAIN TRADE can make it back-to-back chase victories as this course, while C&D winner Florita isn't fully exposed over fences and looks the danger. Lone Soldier needs things to fall right to break his maiden but should be in the mix in an open-looking handicap.
