SEAN - Leopardstown 3.40 - Handicap Hurdle -3 miles -18 run - Yielding 

 

I think this race looks to be very much market dominated and although the likes of A GREAT VIEW and TAKARENGO who are both in the Tracker could run on for enhanced places at their very best, I don't see them as anything other than £1 e/w types.

 

MAXXUM gets an 18 pound penalty and is the one to beat but PERCIVAL LEGALLOIS who be immeasurably fitter than when beating all bar this one last time and may be capable of getting a lot closer and if it came to a scrap, I'd quite like to be on this one. SAMS CHOICE is upped to 3 miles by Elliott but has good Course form and no reason why he can't get the trip.

 

Max Flamingo is intriguing back over Hurdles, Blue Sari is interesting too, Jungle Prose may be able to nick a place despite flying up the handicap.

 

GROZNI has a squeak here at the weights and I think will be involved and the really INTERESTING one for today and Cheltenham is FREEDOM TO DREAM. I'm convinced it has the ability to take a hand here and in isolation I'd see it as having a great chance, but I'm VERY keen on this one for Cheltenham after a great run there last year and I'm not 100% they'd want to spaff an excellent looking mark. I can't ignore its chances on merit though for this decent pot.

 

WIN - Maxxum / Trackers - Percival Legallois + Sams Choice / Shrapnel - Grozni + Freedom To Dream
