Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done
Who is around Sunday?
And
Who is the weekend banker?

Footpad is the biggest cert all weekend. Even Henry is playing down the Mooch’s chances.
Will be at the track Saturday and Sunday. We ahould sort out a TH Sunday rendezvous via these pages.

The section of parade ring beside where the horses head out to the track is a handy meeting point during both days.
After racing on Saturday the France v Ireland game starts as soon as the horses in the bumper pass the post, so plenty of people will be hanging around to watch it, myself included I'd imagine.
I would have thought prayer-mats round the Hurricane Fly statue would have been more apposite, Arthur?

No doubt there'll be a service on Sunday morning
Bring yer winter warmers - Sunday is meant to be bitter

If you don't like it there is a lovely statue nearby to that marvelous mare that above all others represents the rich tapestry of Leopardstown's history. Snow Fairy.

The Flogas looks absolutely phenomenal. Incredible race if they all line up.
Looks top class alright

12.40 Sunday. Miss Sassie, 50/1, ew 1st 5.

Yeah I've absolutely considered that and if you are correct and Sunday is not the day for Dounikos then he might be dropped a couple pounds from current 147. Which could make him an absolute Good thing in the plate at the festival. Giggi won plate last 2 years with Empire of dirt and Road to Respect off similar marks.
Either way I've backed him at 25/1 on Sunday because the price is just too big. If he's not off then I'll be eagerly awaiting the Cheltenham H'Cap entries to have a proper cut then.
One thing that gave me a glimmer of optimism for Sunday is that Jack Kennedy rides, when he could have been on the storyteller (another festival plot job?) or others.
