16:00 Leugh Handicap Hurdle

Race preview

It's Dot Love to Ciaran Murphy for Flindt, after the Most Improved gelding provided the Irish Grand National winning handler with a dream send-off in her 'own' race at Fairyhouse three weeks back. That was a surprise to many as Flindt prevailed at odds of 16/1. It won't shock if he's there or thereabouts again, off a four pound higher mark, in the main offset by Conor Orr's claim. There's no shortage of good recent form on offer, none more so than the recent couple of successes supplied by NO GREY AREA'S. Subsequent Cheltenham winner The Conditional won for the Hassetts at Thurles in March 2018, and perhaps No Grey Area's will be able to accomplish something similar. The selection was beaten by just a nose here in a bumper last winter, and himself and Pa King have now struck up an excellent alliance. They can answer another question from the assessor, and confirm Limerick form with Blanketontheground on far less favourable terms. All told cases can be made for many.
