7:38 Leopardstown Tips

Favourite in this race and quite rightly as he won on his last outing which was also at Leopardstown. Odds shorter at other bookies so good value here

Yet to win but was a close second over 7f here at Leopardstown last August. Respectable return run at Limerick last month which should have blown away the cobwebs and set the stage for a better effort today. Steps up in trip on ground that should suit and with Colin Keane retaining the ride he should be in the mix.

Most stats and predictions are saying Gavin Cromwell's horse needs to improve to feature however now 4yo he's been tried over a variety of trips , 1m3f seemee to stretch his stamina but last time 7f was staying on ? Despite 10st2lb to lump around i believe all he needs is this 1m1f , draw is ok, top jockey booked and a decent price .....whats more to like , one of my next best bet of the day each-way

Trained by Paul W Flynn and has Leigh Roche in the saddle. Second last time out going down by 3 lengths,but met interference two furlongs out,otherwise would have been much closer. Leading speed ratings in what looks a wide open race. Has two wins from a higher official handicap mark. Jockey has ridden this horse six times,winning two and placing on two more occasions.

Half Nutz's only win came on his 3rd start at the Curragh in September 2022, and it's been 47 runs since that win. However, he has been placed seven times, including in his last two starts at Limerick and when runner-up over course and distance here at Leopardstown last month. He is 1 lb higher here but can again go well and looks a good each-way bet with six places on offer.

Master Garvey scrapes in has the third reserve here and gets Wesley Joyce up..came in third here last year and hasnt really run that bad in its tries this term...drawn 10 it might hang on to the tail coats

This 4-year-old offers fantastic each-way odds at 18/1, especially as he returns to a C&D where he previously secured a 3rd place finish, while also dropping into a more favourable 0-60 category.

Morning Approach can go well for the McCreery yard. Morning Approach has won four races and loves quick ground. It has that today and will do a lot better than we have seen this season because of that.

Ran well in defeat last year making the frame five time in the space of six races between July and October. Was reported to have been coughing when making his stable debut last month. Hopefully all is well now and he could surprise at very rewarding odds.

Two poor runs on the all-weather in January over ten furlongs. Lady Crossing returned three weeks ago after a break. She showed a marked improvement over a mile at Limerick, placing fourth. She could hit the frame again if building on that run.

Milverton wasn't suited by the drop in trip last time, but first-time cheekpieces can sharpen him. He's better at 10f, stays well, and on this mark offers a chance for revival.
