Leopardstown phases a top-notch seven-race card on Sunday and we have three alternatives on the cardboard from the Dublin monitor for consideration.
There’s a good two-day assembly at Leopardstown this weekend because the Flat season hurtles in the direction of an finish.
The Foxrock venue has a seven-race providing on Sunday, from 13:55-17:10, with a pair of Listed races and the Bahrain Turf Membership October Handicap that includes. Our three greatest bets on the Sunday card in Eire are beneath.
Sunday’s Leopardstown Suggestions
- NAP: Castleheath (Leopardstown 16:00) @ SP
- Subsequent Finest: Finger Paint (Leopardstown 14:25) @ SP
- Lengthy Shot: Birthe (Leopardstown 15:26) @ SP
Castleheath to maintain issues going
CASTLEHEATH has actually discovered type of late for coach Ciaran Murphy and comes right here bidding for a hat-trick of wins on the Flat.
The Elzaam gelding dead-heated at Galway over an prolonged mile in July and was a 1m2f winner on the Curragh on his most up-to-date outing final month.
He got here from nicely again and finally gained decisively, with that kind boosted since by a couple of of people who completed behind him.
He’s on a little bit of a roll now and whereas the handicapper has hit him with a hike, he’ll have Sam Coen taking 7lb off within the saddle and this four-year-old could have extra to present.
Keane can burn Lyons’ Fingers
Colin Keane would have been the person on board for Mutasarref for Ger Lyons however he’s now retained by Juddmonte and so is on Dermot Weld’s FINGERPAINT as a substitute.
The Kingman filly bagged a maiden first outing over 7f right here in Might and has since run nicely in her solely begin in a Group 3 at Tipperary over 7½-furlongs in August.
That was an honest occasion for the grade and she or he acquitted herself fairly nicely regardless of a gradual begin.
She will get 3lb and extra from these rivals dropping barely in school and tackling a mile for the primary time and might go nicely with Keane on prime. Mutasarref has plenty of expertise and will head the market however should concede 8lb to an unexposed rival.
Birthe to go nicely for Sheridan
Joey Sheridan has a promising weekend forward. He rides a pair for Willie Mullins at Leopardstown on Saturday as he continues to develop a relationship with the champion jumps coach, and on Sunday he companions BIRTHE for Joseph O’Brien within the Listed Trigo Stakes.
The Piltown coach’s Trustyourinstinct is within the area too, with championship-chasing Dylan Browne McMonagle on board however this French import might supply some worth.
The Research Of Man filly was a Listed/Group 2 winner in her place of origin in 2024 over this journey.
After transferring to Eire, her first run for this yard was within the Group 2 Lanwades Stud Stakes on the Curragh in Might after 252 days off. Excessive-class performer Porta Fortuna gained that contest.
Birthe has had only one begin since, in a five-runner contest at Punchestown final month. She needs to be match now and first-time cheekpieces are added. Softening floor will help her trigger and she or he might run a giant race for Sheridan.
