Sunday's Leopardstown preview

A mouthwatering afternoon's action is in prospect with four Grade Ones at Leopardstown headlined by the Hennessy Gold Cup.

Lexus placegetters Money Trix and Joncol renew rivalry, but currently topping the market is Cooldine. Willie Mullins' RSA Chase hero was behind his two rivals on his return over Christmas, but has been the subject of much more positive reports subsequently.

The testing conditions will suit Notre Pere and he can't be ruled out either.

The biggest attraction of the day lines up away from the feature race, with Dunguib taking his next step towards superstardom in the Deloitte Novice Hurdle.

Last year's runaway Champion Bumper winner has looked even better since tackling obstacles and there's no reason why this shouldn't be another formality.

Fionnegas, Saludos and Some Present are all high-class performers, but will surely be fighting out the minor honours.

The meeting gets under way with a top-level contest in the shape of the Spring Juvenile Hurdle at 1.05.

Carlito Brigante heads to Scotland, but there are still Triumph Hurdle clues to be had as Pittoni beat the reopposing Soldier Bay on his jumping introduction and followed up in a Grade Three at Punchestown.

Shanrod's Navan victory was unexpected, certainly by punters, but it wasn't without its merit and he cannot be dismissed so lightly here.

Weapon's Amnesty is Ireland's leading contender for the RSA Chase and if he's up to that standard, class should see him home over a shorter trip in the Dr. P.J. Moriarty Novice Chase.

Zaarito's jumping problems need to be ironed out but Roberto Goldback is a worthy adversary, while Cousin Vinny will be on the premises if he puts it all together.

Kylebeg Krystle goes for the hat-trick in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Handicap Hurdle, while Four Chimneys is another prolific winner and will be on most shortlists for the Star's Kieran O'Connell - Europe's Best Tipster Handicap Hurdle.
