7:10 Leopardstown Tips

Just 1 run for a good new yard from the 8yo, who is very capable on his day. That run was over the winter and he's now returning from an eight month break. He was racing off a 14lb higher mark for the most of last summer. The strong jockey booking does suggest he'll be fit and ready for his return.

A very poor open handicap where Brains rates a 5-star nap. He has been thereabouts on all of his recent runs and looks to be on a good mark from stall 6. He may be able to dictate from the front. 16/1 is great value.
