A good Saturday saw two of my picks win. At Limerick Impaire Et Passe was 4th approaching halfway improving to go 2nd two out, the 8/13 favourite led at the last keeping on well to beat Jordans by 4 lengths. Over at Leopardstown Home By The Lee was in midfield early sitting 6th entering the straight, he kept on to challenge at the last leading soon after pulling away to beat Bob Olinger by 6 lengths. In the other race Fact To File was 2nd. The 13/8 shot briefly challenged before the last but had no extra on the run-in allowing Galopin Des Champs to win by 7 1/2 lengths.
The festivals at Limerick and Leopardstown reach their conclusions on Sunday with 7 races at each and 3 final highlights.
Limerick 1.07: QuinnBet Handicap Hurdle.
9: Robbies Rock: A useful flat winner who tasted victory on his 4th hurdles start at Cork 16 days ago. He disputed the lead at halfway moving to the front 3 out, he went clear before the last comfortably coming home by 3 lengths. A weight rise may not be enough to stop him following up here.
Leopardstown 1.20: Beat The Bank.ie Irish EBF Mares Hurdle (Grade 3)
7: Lot Of Joy: A decent hurdler who picked up a career best win in a listed race at Punchestown 35 days ago. She made all the running going clear coming to the last beating the reopposing Risk Belle by 4 lengths. Another good run is likely and she can complete a hat-trick here.
Leopardstown 2.30: Neville Hotels Hurdle (Grade 1)
5: State Man: A standout horse who has won 3 Grade one's in 2024 including the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. He was 2nd behind Brighterdaysahead who goes again here in the Morgiana at Punchestown on reappearance last month but with that under his belt he can reverse that form here and claim this race for a 3rd successive year.
