We narrow down the field to help you pick the winner of the Grade 1 contest at Leopardstown racecourse on Saturday
2.30 LEOPARDSTOWN: Ryanair Hurdle
IT’S a must to have finished in the first three last time out, which puts a big question mark over the fancied Melon who fell on his most recent start.
That is a worry even though trainer Willie Mullins has such a strong record in this race.
Petit Mouchoir and Tombstone also come up short on this trend and get crossed out.
A previous Grade 1 win is important so Bedrock comes up short.
The remaining trio all have plenty of ticks in that they have winning form over the distance and have a recent run under their belt.
If Melon is ruled out, then the Mullins factor comes into play with SHARJAH and he is open to lots of improvement aged five.
He can get the better of Samcro and Supasundae in what looks an open contest.
