Irish racing tips: Johnny Ward's best bets for Leopardstown

Leopardstown's eight-race card on Sunday is a proper test for horse, and punter!

Ryan Moore heads to the Irish venue for five rides who are all trained by Aidan O'Brien, all three-year-olds and, all bar one, by Galileo.

I have two selections for you to consider for the action which will be shown live on Racing TV. Best of luck.

This horse's sire, Churchill, is remembered as a top-class miler but he ran one of his best races in the Juddmonte International at York, and it seems pretty clear his offspring will improve with time, and no doubt some will for distance, too.

Yashin is out of a Dansili mare and the step up to ten furlongs looks certain to suit. It was interesting that he was backed on his seasonal return in a one-mile maiden at Leopardstown as he seemed to have little chance on form - the favourite for the race was rated 93 - but he wasn't far off snatching third.

He had little hope coming into the straight, but it was really likeable how he stayed on, and a rating of 78 seems more than fair now he tries ten furlongs.

This is a really competitive race, the type of Flat handicap at a world-class track that puts some punters off, but others simply love.

Entropy faces Moracana again on Sunday, and that rival was drawn eight stalls higher than him over course and distance last time out but still managed to score.

However, the turn of foot Entropy showed on his stable debut would surely have been enough to win many other races, and he is very lightly raced.

Moreover, there's a critical 4lb swing with the winner, and both of them are drawn high here, so likely both will be held up.

I suggest you look for bookies paying at least five places in this contest and back the selection each-way.
