None of Saturday's tips ran because the meeting at Leopardstown was called off. 17mm of rain in 24 hours made the hurdle track unfit for racing. The meeting has been rearranged for Monday.
If an 8am inspection is passed then day 1 of the Dublin Racing Festival will now be on Sunday at Leopardstown with 3 Grade one's topping the bill.
1.10: Ladbrokes Novice Chase (Grade 1.)
1: Final Demand: A top-class horse who made it 2 from 2 over fences when taking the Grade 1 Faugheen Novice Chase at Limerick in December. He made all the running asserting himself from 2 out, he kept on well easily coming home by 8 lengths. He is hard to look past here and should give his trainer a 6th win in this race since 2020.
2.10: Ladbrokes Dublin Chase (Grade 1.)
4: Marine Nationale: An excellent chaser who won the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham last season and followed up with a Grade 1 at Punchestown in April. He ran well when second behind the reopposing Solness over course and distance on his return during the Christmas meeting recovering from an early mistake and can go one better here.
3.20: Timeless Sash Windows Irish Champion Hurdle ( Grade 1.)
6: Lossiemouth: A brilliant hurdler who has won nine Grade one's her last on this course 5 weeks ago. She was 2nd at halfway leading at the last and beating Brighterdaysahead by a length. She faces that rival again here and should win completing a 5-timer in the process.
