Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Arizona Raider is our selection, and he heads the field on our ratings at 104, four pounds better than Leadlight on 100 and five clear of Zarak Pasha on 99. That edge is a modest one rather than a decisive one, but it is enough to make him the one to beat on good ground over nine furlongs at Leopardstown. Leadlight and Zarak Pasha are the obvious dangers, both within a few pounds of him, while Wunderschon is the best of the rest on 85 but looks to have a fair bit to find. Arizona Raider gets the vote, with the caveat that the top three are closely matched.

Albany County arrives a last-time-out winner, with a second and a fourth before that, and he has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him fifth of six on a rating of 84, and a speed rating of 66 and 131 lb from draw 6 give him plenty to do.

Arizona Raider bounced back from a third three starts back with a win two starts back, and he's quick to return after just six days, having run on today's going before. Drawn four and carrying 131 lb, he tops our ratings at 104, though a fifth last time out is the one blemish.

Leadlight arrives a last-time-out winner, with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 100 ranks him second of six. The main risk is a 39-day absence, plus 131 lb from stall two.

Wall Street won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but a 72-day absence is a concern, and our figures rank him last of six. Carrying 131 lb from stall 3, he looks a tough sell on ratings of 81 and a speed figure of 52.

Zarak Pasha is a leading danger, having won two starts back and finished second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before from stall one. The risk is a disappointing eighth last time out and a 35-day break, while 131 lb is a big weight to carry off an official rating of 99.

Mrs J. Harrington 3/35
Wunderschon arrives with a fourth last time out and a third two starts back, and she has experience of both today's trip and the going after a 32-day break. She is yet to win in her last three, and the risk is that 128 lb from stall five asks plenty off an official mark of 89.
