Friday's only winner came at Limerick where Bioluminescence was 2nd early leading from the 8th, the 4/5 favourite was challenged approaching the straight but stayed on well to beat Paggane by 3 lengths. Over at Leopardstown Gaelic Warrior was 2nd, the 13/8 favourite was comfortably beaten by Solness who came home by 3 3/4 lengths. In the other race Karniquet was 5th with the contest going to Romeo Coolio who beat Bleu De Vassy by 9 lengths.
On Saturday there are 7 races at both Limerick and Leopardstown with another 3 main events.
Limerick 1.40: Guinness 00 Faugheen Novice Chase (Grade 1)
2: Impaire Et Passe: A high-class horse over hurdles who's standout performance this year was a win in the Grade 1 Aintree Hurdle in April. He led from 2 out and despite being strongly challenged close to home he held on coming home by a nose. He won by an easy 12 lengths on chase debut at Fairyhouse a month ago and is the one to beat here.
Leopardstown 2.00: Savills Hurdle (Grade 1)
5: Home By The Lee: A smart hurdler who has been a course winner in his career. He was last seen at Navan 42 days ago where he won the Lismullen Hurdle leading entering the straight soon going clear beating the reopposing Bob Olinger by 3 1/2 lengths. With blinkers back on he can win this race again.
Leopardstown 2.35: Savills Chase (Grade 1)
2: Fact To File: An excellent chaser who extended his winning run when taking the John Durkan at Punchestown on reappearance last month. He tracked the leaders improving to lead at the last, he kept on well beating Spillane's Tower by 1/2 a length with another in this field Galopin Des Champs in 3rd. He has more to come and can complete a 5-timer here.
