Sunday racecards| Big-race tips| Watch In The Know


1.20 Leopardstown
Ladbrokes Novice Chase (Grade 1), 2m5½f

Paddy Corkery, trainer of Master McShee:

"Galopin Des Champs will probably take off in front and we'll try not to let him go too far. It'll be some achievement if we beat him. I've already backed him at 25-1."

Overnight price: 11-1


1.50 Leopardstown
Ladbrokes Dublin Chase (Grade 1), 2m1f

Paul Nicholls, trainer of Greaneteen:

"Greaneteen is in great shape and I think he’s got a big chance. Chacun Pour Soi is the one to beat but I’m just hoping they don’t get too much rain on Saturday night. I was going for the nice ground and I pray it doesn't rain too much.”

Overnight price: 4-1


2.05 Musselburgh
bet365 Scottish Supreme Novices' Hurdle, 1m7½f

Olly Murphy, trainer of Restandbethankful:

"He got back on track last time at Huntingdon and the form has worked out well. The less rain that falls the better his chance. He's a nice horse who's going to be competitive in some good races in the future."

Overnight price: 9-4


2.40 Musselburgh
Pertemps Network Group Handicap Hurdle (Series qualifier), 3m

Martin Keighley, trainer of Brorson:

“He's going up there for the better ground, which he likes, and Sean Bowen gets on well with him. He should still be competitive off 130 and I hope he has a live chance.”

Overnight price: 5-2f


Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (Grade 1), 2m

Lorna Fowler, trainer of Colonel Mustard:

"It’s massively exciting. He’s been second in a Grade 1 before, but it takes some doing to be in with a chance at Leopardstown. We're happy with him."

Overnight price: 16-1
