Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sunchart No. 4, stall 7
Andrew Slattery · A. Slattery
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (9/45, 14 days)
Sunchart heads our ratings at 115 and gets the nod over a competitive 11-runner field at Leopardstown, with a four-pound edge over Snellen that is a useful advantage rather than a decisive one. Over ten furlongs on good ground, that superior figure makes him the one to beat in a Class 1 event. Snellen is the main danger on 111, with Cowardofthecounty (106) and Hazdann (103) the other principals who could take advantage if Sunchart fails to run to his best. Sunchart is the selection.

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 7/51
Cowardofthecounty has hit the frame in four of his last six, including a win five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 106 ranks him third of eleven. The risk is back-to-back fifths and a 36-day break, so he must bounce back from a quiet spell.

Hazdann arrives a leading danger having won last time out and four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is a 48-day absence, while 133 lb from stall eight is a notable burden.

Andrew Slattery
A. Slattery 9/45
Sunchart has been below his best lately with a seventh last time out, and a seventh two starts back, but a third three starts back shows he can go close, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 115 puts him top of this field, though 121 days off is the one reservation.

W. M. Lordan
Aidan O'Brien 5/62
Won last time out, 22 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but that is a thin recent profile to lean on. Carrying 129 lb from stall one, he is ranked 10th of 11 on our figures, which makes him hard to fancy.

Shane Foley
Mrs J. Harrington 3/35
Mr Vettori won five starts back but has since slipped to a second four starts back, then a fifth, a fourth and an unplaced run last time, and he returns after 79 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, though 129 lb from stall 3 and a mid-table rating of seventh of eleven suggest a midfield bid.

J M Sheridan
Henry de Bromhead 8/43
Fourth last time out and fresh enough after 23 days, Nuit has run over today's trip and on this going, and she won three starts back, but a ninth two starts back and no better than fourth in her other recent runs temper the appeal. Carrying 128 lb from stall 10, she looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 94 ranking her eighth of eleven.

Gavin Cromwell 6/41
Snellen heads the dangers on our figures, having won five starts back and finished third three runs ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The risk is a 94-day absence after a sixth and a fifth in her last two outings.

Alphecca is winless in her last five and hard to fancy, with a fourth last time out and a second two starts back the only real positives among a string of also-rans. She has run over today's trip and going and is back after 13 days, but ranks ninth of 11 on our figures.

Moments of Joy is winless in her last six, with a fifth three starts back and a fourth five starts back her best finishes, though she is back quickly after seven days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 101 sits above her official 96, but 124 lb from stall 11 is a task.

Sanctijude has been in good heart, third last time out, a winner two starts back, and she's fresh enough after 11 days, having run over today's trip and going. Even so, she's ranked last of 11 on our figures, and 124 lb from draw 5 looks a lot to ask.
