Race Tip

IL ETAIT TEMPS (5) won the Irish version of this event by a neck attempting the 2m1f G1 Irish Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown. Leading player. GAELIC WARRIOR (3) beat the main selection two runs ago at Limerick delivering a 5.5L success in the 2m3f G1 Faugheen Novice Chase on testing ground. Placed past two Cheltenham Festivals and rates highly. FOUND A FIFTY (2) scored by 1.5L at Leopardstown tackling the top level over Christmas before a smart neck second behind the top pick last month. Holds every chance once more. QUILIXIOS (10) won the 2021 G1 Triumph Hurdle here and is a last start Naas novice chase winner. Interesting.
