We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Leopardstown 220

Sea ducour
Was a staying on second to Master Mcshee in this race last year.
Hasn’t run a yard since and was a beaten favourite in a 1 mile 4 f race at the Curragh in late June. Stewards wanted to know what the problem was. Found to be post race normal.
Potentially laid out for this race…
Suprise Package
Had a superb season and won at the festival after Cheltenham.
Both win

Kempton

Shishkin has his work cut out here in a small field but he looks well.
Gets weight from two of his rivals.
A definitely tactical affair.
I don’t think this fellow is going to be knocked about.
Ive pulled him out of my lucky fifteen but
I’ve got him in a double with another horse but otherwise it is a watching brief.

I’m going to back Greenateen here as that one is race fit and will be highly tried.

Never a moment of worry for shishkin backers wins easily.

Reverse forecast

Clear ability from JJ behind two clear favourites at Chelmsford. Was a big price that day.
Can share the spoils with this ex Irish horse who has figured in some decent races.

[sporting sam]

Embassy Garden was a good winner in the leopardstown bumper for Willie Mullins.
He had to fight all the way against his opponent and also had to contend with a stray whip which caused jockey and horse to move sideways. Got up to win by a nose finally.
A few short price winners in the early races but nothing to write home about…

HORANTZAU D’AIRY
Win
MARY’S PRIDE
Each way

There is very little scope for each way here as there are a multitude of runners from big yards. Mary’s Pride ran very well to win her Bumper recently and Dennis O’Reagan has been booked to ride, has little chance here but at three figure odds may be staying on at the end if not being schooled.
The Mullins horse has schooled well and having won a french bumper and beating a future listed winner in the process has really strong claims here on debut for the powerful yard.
Heia is the other winning french recruit for Mullins and with stacks of winners in this race it has the look of a handicap rather than the usual maiden.

Comes to his new yard having been rated and placed for Paul Nicholls in England. Every chance if fit.

Concertista
Win
Although struggled to win decisively last time, this top hurdler did the job efficiently enough and although odds in here and giving five pounds away, should be able to win well with the experience of last time.

“chased leaders in 3rd, mistake 4th, slight mistake next, not fluent 7th, 2nd 4 out, ridden to challenge after 2 out, on terms last, led run-in, kept on well”…..

[sporting sam]

Concertista Won well and did what was required.
Fantastic front running from Kitty Galore and with a better settle may well have stolen this race.

Makes Stable Debut in a very competitive race.
Had a good second behind Amarillo sky who is now rated 131.
Over 650 days ago sold at the Cheltenham sales for 135 K.
Race the domain of Mullins. So this is a bold move by De Bromhead.

Youralwaysdreamin
Each way
Has had the form of his third franked by Bold Getaway winning earlier. He was just a short head behind that runner in his second bumper behind Harold Hardred
Previously another good run on debut behind another decent sort of Gavin Cromwells who was a runner up today
and although this a tougher assignment should come on well for that run racing against some good but unraced sorts.

Each way bumper double.
