20:30 Leopardstown — Leopardstown Premier Lounge Handicap model predictions

Two And Two (IRE)

0%

Made all in 6f Dundalk 3yo contest in January and showed speed (hooded) for a long way in Curragh handicap over same trip on opening day of season before fading in heavy ground; back from a break and upped in trip with headgear left off.

Down The Glen (IRE)

0%

7f Galway nursery winner on heavy ground last season; extended 1m2f seemed too far at Sligo on latest, so should appreciate this drop back in distance.

Jp's Express (IRE)

0%

All runs have been over shorter trips, never counting after slow start on handicap debut at Naas last time; upped in trip and dropped 7lb; poor draw.

Themis (IRE)

0%

Three runs have amounted to little, poor run at Dundalk last time; Irish Oaks entry is unrealistic but evidently held in some regard so could make an impact on handicap debut off a modest mark.

Cosmic Funk (IRE)

0%

Last Friday's step up in trip at Down Royal didn't bring any improvement; back in trip for handicap debut (down 2lb in future).

Glamazon (IRE)

0%

Well exposed before Ballinrobe maiden win last month (1m1f) and faded tamely after forcing much of pace back in handicap company at the Curragh when racing from 7lb out of the handicap; drops in grade but remains vulnerable to improvers.

Love Orchid (IRE)

0%

Minor promise in maidens last year but opening two handicap efforts this season have been ordinary; first-time cheekpieces will need to bring improvement to feature.

Nicky Larson (FR)

0%

Good start to handicapping when chasing home a clear-cut winner over this trip at Limerick in April (yielding); just 1lb higher and rider now claims 7lb so one to consider.

Bear Right (IRE)

0%

Yet to make an impact in handicaps, not looking to get home on soft over this trip at Cork on latest; plenty to find.

Chirac (IRE)

0%

Has taken well to handicapping, good fourth to an improver over 5f at Naas before relishing step up to 7f for ready success at Gowran (soft) in April, coming late off a good pace; good chance he'll stay 1m and 7lb rise looks fair; decent draw too.

De Songbird

0%

No real threat in three maiden runs within a month in the spring; wide draw for handicap debut and hard to make a case for.

No More Hiding (GB)

0%

Tried over different trips in four AW runs over the winter, final occasion hung badly left in straight when well held on handicap debut; Billy Lee takes over for turf debut, interesting if any market support arrives.

Wicklow Gap (IRE)

0%

Last month's Roscommon run his best yet, good fourth after not clear run in first-time tongue-tie; claims if overcoming this wide draw.

Cameclose (IRE)

0%

Back in trip here after not looking to stay at Killarney; cheekpieces replace blinkers; others preferred.

Only One Scobie (IRE)

0%

Beaten only a couple of rivals in two handicap efforts; handicapper relenting but remains opposable.

Balance Of Trade (IRE)

0%

11-race maiden but caught the eye at Gowran on Monday when strong-finishing fourth, having lost plenty of ground at the start when hampered; officially 3lb wrong here but could go well at a price.
