3:05 Leopardstown Tips

Has won his last three races, with a mile-and-a-half win on the flat sandwiched between two handicap wins over hurdles. The latest was a Listed race at Fairyhouse last month. Stable jockey's choice of three, so fancied.

Blue Mosque has been in my book all last season as one to watch, and today is the day. I think this horse has been aimed for this race with a nice handicap mark. Plus the trainer's horses are bang in form.

Secured a career-best when winning a novice hurdle at Punchestown 36 days ago. Cheekpieces are being introduced for the first time. Making his handicap hurdle debut, he hails from a high-performing stable, and with a jockey claiming 7 lb, he stands as a reliable each-way bet at 11/1.

Strong each-way bet. Needs a decent gallop to aim at, so the slow-run tactical affair last time was no use to him. Won the Dawn Run at Cheltenham last season. Should figure here.

Was a B/F when no show in this race last year and solid comeback run @ Navan should have them spot on to put up a much better showing here. Very good jockey back up and top trainer who is 21 percent with a Lsp of 85.78 last 14 days, best here with his hurdlers last 5 seasons @ 14 percent, making current 11/1 solid Ew value in the race.

Thisistheway is a three-time winner from seven hurdle starts. Third last time out in a Listed race at Limerick. Each-way chance.

Trainer has got two entered in this race as they are stepping this one up in trip with a 5 lb claiming jockey booking/change. Worth a small each-way saver bet for the five places available.

Big chance here. Ran well the last twice from this mark, running as if for another day. Ran on when the race was over. Should go close in this.

This horse gets a big enough pull at the weights to go very close with Zillow, the current favourite. Teed Up has shown good hurdling form before and has an impressive flat race to his credit. This looks too big a price to ignore, and I think he can go close to winning this today.
