"Jim Bolger sends a strong team to Leopardstown on Sunday and Carraiglawn looks one of his best chances"

Killarney 2:25 - Win Back - Suffren

Suffren shaped a lot better than the result would suggest when sixth to Gimli's Rock at the Punchestown Festival, staying on well in the straight having almost been brought to a halt when hampered 3 out, and should have little trouble winning a maiden. He was listed class on the Flat for Andre Fabre and it will be disappointing if he isn't good enough to land this.

Leopardstown 3:05 - Win Back - Carraiglawn

Jim Bolger sends a strong team to Leopardstown on Sunday and Carraiglawn looks one of his best chances. The half-brother to Soldier of Fortune looked potentially useful when chasing home Zayaan, who has since finished a close third in a Group 3 at the Curragh, in a 1m maiden at Naas and is bred to come into his own at this sort of distance. He still looked a bit green last time and remains open to improvement.

Killarney 3:55 - Place Lay - Save My Blushes

Save My Blushes was an easy winner of a maiden at Kilbeggan last time but has plenty on his plate off what looks a stiffish mark in just his second handicap. He is likely to stay this trip but won't necessarily improve for it, which he will have to do to even get placed in a very competitive contest.

Leopardstown 5:05 - Win and Place Back - Spirit of Xaar

David Marnane has made a good start to the season and his Spirit of Xaar looks to have a good chance of at least getting placed in the 1m handicap. He shaped quite well on his return at Naas last month, keeping on well from an unpromising position to be nearest at the finish, and his very best form is at this trip. He handles most types of ground and should be able to avoid trouble from his wide draw.
