Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Greek Flower heads our ratings on 80 and gets the nod in a wide-open 7f contest at Leopardstown on good ground. She is only narrowly ahead of Go Sioux Me on 78, so there is little in it at the top, but a couple of pounds in hand is enough to make her the one to beat. Go Sioux Me is the chief danger, with Zaraahmando and Bundle Of Interest also firmly in the picture, and with a big field the race may be tight, so confidence is low. Greek Flower gets the vote.

Zaraahmando arrives in sound form, second last time out and placed in four of his last six, with experience of today's trip and going after a 27-day break; our rating of 76 ranks him third of 13. The one concern is that he is yet to win in that sequence, and 141 lb is a hefty burden.

Conor Cusack (7)

W. J. Lee
W. McCreery 2/19
Bundle Of Interest steps up on a third last time out, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 75 ranks her fourth of 13 from stall one; the main risk is a 47-day absence, with 138 lb and no win in her last five.

Adam Browne-Souza (7)
A. Slattery 9/45
Faoladh bounced back with a second last time out, 20 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, though his only win in his last six starts came five starts back. Our rating of 74 sits above his official 68, but carrying 138 lb from stall 14 leaves little room for error.

Patrick McGettigan (5)
Ciaran Murphy 1/15

W. M. Lordan

Purely arrives in fair fettle after a second last time out, but that is the only bright spot in a winless run of five, with a ninth and a seventh also in the book. She has run over today's trip and going, yet carrying 137 lb from stall 10, our figures rank her 13th of 13.

Rory Mulligan (5)

Rosato won last time out and returns quickly after 11 days, having run over today's trip and going before, but that win followed a fourth two starts back and a ninth three starts back. Carrying 137 lb from draw 11, she is ranked tenth of 13 on our rating of 70.

Bear Right is yet to win in her last six, but a fourth last time out and a second three starts back show she's consistently in the mix, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 135 lb from draw 7, she looks held by the pack, with our rating of 69 ranking her 11th of 13.

Ross O'Sullivan 1/22
Altimara is winless in her last five, with a ninth last time out and a fifth two starts back, and she returns after 59 days with a struggling yard (1/22 in the last 14 days). She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 71 sits above her official 64, but the form needs to improve from stall two.

Seamie Heffernan
John James Feane 0/6
Greek Flower is yet to win in her last six, but a third six starts back is her best recent finish, and she's fit after 20 days off and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 80 sits well clear of her official 64, making her the one to beat from stall 17.

Queen Aethelflaed was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but she's been unplaced in two of the three runs before that and her only win came six starts back. Carrying 130 lb from draw 15, she's hard to fancy with our figures ranking her 12th of 13.

Colin Keane
Kevin Thomas Coleman 1/14
Green Kite is hard to fancy, unplaced last time out and a eighth two starts back, and he is winless in his last six, with a second six starts back his best finish. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 14 days, but 129 lb off 59 asks plenty.

Denis Gerard Hogan 2/23
Montevetro is winless in his last five, with an eighth last time out and a ninth three starts back, so he is hard to fancy; a second five starts back and a third four back are the best of it. He has run over today's trip and going, is back after 14 days and drawn five.

Gegenpressing is hard to fancy after a 137-day absence and an unplaced run last time out, with just one win in his last five starts. On the plus side, he won two starts back and has run over today's trip and going before.

J A Nash 0/3
Go Sioux Me counts a win two starts back and a third three starts back among his last four runs, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 78 ranks him second of 13. The risk is an eighth last time out, though he's had 29 days to recover.
