Final NH programme at Leopardstown on Sunday

The final National Hunt programme of the current campaign takes place at Leopardstown on Sunday where the first race is due off at 2.30pm. A Jackpot Rollover of €57,648 is sure to whet the appetite and punters can start the pot on a winning note by including former flat campaigner Chimes At Midnight in their permutations.

Luke Comer's charge finished his flat campaign with a rating of 103 and still holds an entry for the Smurfit Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, so nothing less than a winning bow will do here.

Bob Justice is lumbered with top-weight in the two mile handicap hurdle, but slight preference is for Camden Tanner to reverse placings with Bob What, who landed a two mile handicap hurdle here last month.

No Discount, Ellenjay and Oa Baldixe look the three to fight out the two mile five furlong beginners' chase with slight preference for the former, while Good Shuil might be the solution to the handicap Chase where former Aintree hero Papillon is set to carry top-weight.

Racing concludes with a winners' bumper and Kicking King can repeat his January course and distance success by again accounting for subsequent costly Thurles flop Shawings.
