Leading analyst and pundit Angus McNae shares his four best bets at Leopardstown and Musselburgh on Sunday, with both meetings live on Racing TV. Must end this weekend! Enjoy a FREE one month trial of Racing TV!
1.25 Musselburgh: Dedicated Hero
Dedicated Hero made a most encouraging start to his chasing career when second to the potentially very smart Meetmebythesea.
He recorded a RaceiQ Jump Index of 7.1, which is respectable on a chasing debut, and he would have finished closer to the winner had he not been squeezed out at the last.
He looks to be well handicapped off a mark of 123 given that he was a Grade Two-winning novice hurdler last season. He will be hard to beat.
1.40 Leopardstown: Ballyfad
Ballyfad has impressive credentials here. He is unbeaten in two bumpers and, in his sole start over hurdles, he sprinted nine and a half lengths clear of his closest pursuer - who has gone on to win a maiden hurdle by nine lengths.
He looked like a stayer in his bumpers, but showed plenty of speed to win on hurdling debut where he posted a Finishing Speed Percentage of 110.77% and jumped well with a RaceiQ Jump Index value of 7.4.
He is open to plenty of improvement and represents the value in the race against some more high profile rivals.
1.55 Musselburgh: Pure Carbon
Pure Carbon looked progressive before unseating at Ludlow last time out. His previous win at Huntingdon was an impressive one that suggested he is well ahead of his handicap mark.
He travels strongly and is only 6lb higher here than for his easy Huntingdon success. He can take another step forward and land this.
2.10 Leopardstown: Majborough
The first time cheekpieces that he wears today may provide the necessary focus that he needs to reveal the full extent of his undoubted talent.
Although it looks as though he is a moderate jumper, the RaceiQ data is adamant that he is a quick and efficient jumper whatever visual impression he creates.
He just needs to concentrate in his races and, when he does, I believe there is a huge performance in him. That could come in this race in the new headgear.
