UK Horse Racing Tips: Leopardstown

Aidan O'Brien has a particularly strong hand in the juvenile division this season and it looks significant that he solely relies on LIBRARY in this Listed event. The Galileo filly has progressed with each run and this race was mentioned as a likely target after winning a Tipperary maiden last month. Zarinsk won on debut at the Curragh and there have been excuses on both outings since in Group races having got upset in the stalls and last time stumbled at the start over this C&D. The Aga Khan is represented by two fillies, Kayhana and Sheyya. that have both won on their only start and have been given plenty of time to develop. Easy is another coming here off the back of a winning debut at Cork for Andy Slattery. The form of that race has been working out well and she has changed hands since.
Prediction : 1st Library 2nd Easy 3rd Sheyya

Ger Lyons won this last year with Masen and he could repeat the trick with another lightly-raced three-year-old in the shape of MARKAZ PANAME who will be well suited by the recent wet spell. The selection is unbeaten in three turf outings including both starts this spring over the trip and has been absent since landing the Group 3 Gladness Stakes at the Curragh with connections indicating at the time that he could have the summer off because of a definite preference for an ease. His high draw hasn't been a barrier to winning this race in the past. Emporio is another lightly raced sort that made a winning return at Tipperary last month. I'm A Gambler had Rhoscolyn close up in third when scoring over this trip at Goodwood last month, while Current Option won this race back in 2019 and the topweight has proved a great servant to connections since winning the Ahonoora Handicap at Galway three times.
Prediction : 1st Markaz Paname 2nd Rhoscolyn 3rd Emporio

This can't be an easy choice for Ryan Moore between the two colts from Ballydoyle and perhaps TOWER OF LONDON can provide better value. The son Of Galileo showed a nice turn of foot on debut over this C&D and, despite veering sharply right in the closing stages, scored in decisive fashion. Auguste Rodin is obviously held in high regard having gone off at very cramped odds on both starts and opened his account with some cut in the ground at Naas last time. Alder still looked a bit green when getting the better of Hiawatha at Killarney, while Serious Challenge was having his second outing of the week at the Galway Festival when also beating Hiawatha in a maiden.
Prediction : 1st Tower Of London 2nd Auguste Rodin 3rd Alder

THUNDER KISS was just denied by stablemate Camorra in this race 12 months ago and has plenty in her favour. The Night Of Thunder mare is best with cut in the ground and also runs well after a break as evidenced by her reappearance win in the Noblesse Stakes over this trip at Cork in April. Earl Of Tyrone progresses with every run and ran a cracker last time when third in the Ebor. Billy Lee prefers him to stablemate Beamish who handles soft ground well and has scope for further improvement. Point King is another on an upward curve and has won his latest two starts at this venue including the Listed Vinnie Roe Stakes last month. Duke De Sessa likes soft ground and is another interesting contender stepping up to this trip for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Thunder Kiss 2nd Earl Of Tyrone 3rd Point King

French superstar VADENI descends on Ireland for the first time. Jean-Claude Rouget's three-year-old arrives here seeking a four-timer, after three imperious successes most recently scoring in the Eclipse at Sandown. Mishriff was just a neck behind on that occasion, so his connections will be hoping he can reverse that form, while 2000 Guineas third Luxembourg represents Aidan O'Brien and thus commands the utmost respect. He is sure to have come forward for his Curragh return last month.
Prediction : 1st Vadeni 2nd Mishriff 3rd Luxembourg

JADOOMI was Group 1-placed as a juvenile and in contrast to many rivals, likes testing ground. A winner on his reappearance at Clairefontaine in July, he comes here in excellent form having won a Goodwood Group 2 in August. In-form three year old Boundless Ocean is suited by this distance and while yet to race on testing conditions, is battle-hardened and progressive. Just Beautiful, a 625,000gns purchase last November, won a Group 3 last September and while today's reappearance race has been a target for some time, she has yet to race on testing ground. Last year's winner Real Appeal hasn't shown that same level of form recently, with testing ground being of concern. Georgeville is closely matched with Real Appeal on previous meeting but was well held by Boundless Ocean recently and is also unproven on soft.
Prediction : 1st Jadoomi 2nd Boundless Ocean 3rd Just Beautiful
