Neither of Saturday's tips ran after the meeting at Bellewstown was called off due to heavy overnight rain the track was declared unfit for racing early on Saturday morning, the meeting has yet to be rearranged.
There are two more meetings on Sunday and as long as a 7.30am inspection is passed all 3 highlights will be part of a 7 race card at Leopardstown.
2.35: Ballylinch Stud 'Red Rocks' 2,000 Guineas Trial Stakes (Group 3)
5: Hans Andersen: A useful colt who won a maiden at The Curragh back in July before finishing second in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes on the same course. He returned there to finish a decent fifth in the National Stakes on his last outing. He sets a high standard here and can get back to winning ways.
3.10: Ballylinch Stud 'Priory Belle' 1,000 Guineas Trial Stakes (Group 3)
8: Never Ending Story: A useful filly who picked up two wins from four runs last year. She was a creditable 3rd behind Blue Rose Cen in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac at Longchamp when last seen in October and despite being off 6 months she just gets the nod here.
3.45: P.W. McGrath Memorial Ballysax Stakes (Group 3)
2: Alexandroupolis: Impressed when making a winning debut at Galway 6 months ago. He pulled away in the closing stages to come home by 1 3/4 lengths and with plenty more to offer now going up in trip he can take this for a trainer who has an excellent record in this race.
It is also Ulster National day at Downpatrick and my pick in the big race at 4.00 goes to number 9 My Design.
