The best on a poor Sunday came from Captain Cody who was 4th, the 4/5 favourite disputed the lead early but dropped to 4th two out. He made no impression before the last keeping on at one pace, upfront Blizzard Of Oz beat Purse Price by 2 1/4 lengths. The days other pick Now Where Or When was 7th in a race won by Brideswell Lad who beat Battle Of Mirbat by 1 3/4 lengths.
A second day at Leopardstown on Monday sees 7 races with 2 highlights.
3.30: Quinnbet Mares Handicap Hurdle.
4: Malina Girl: A smart chaser who was a respectable 2nd in a listed race at Exeter when last seen 22 days ago. She challenged from the 11th but couldn't reach the winner who came home by 7 1/2 lengths. She switches back to hurdles here and gets the vote off what is a lenient mark.
4.30: Irish Stallion Farms EBF Beginners Chase.
2: Aspire Tower: A double Grade 2 hurdles winner who has taken very well to chasing. He was an excellent 2nd at Thurles 20 days ago leading narrowly approaching the last keeping on well on the run-in being passed in the closing stages going down by 1/2 a length. He was well clear of the rest that day and can go one better here.
