Trainer To Follow - Gordon Elliott

Gordon Elliott is looking to find some winners to gain some momentum going into the Cheltenham festival and he has some big chances at Leopardstown on Sunday.

In the opening race of the day he has a leading chance with Ballykeel who was a good fifth behind the talented The Nice Guy and since the third Ramilies has won aswell.

In the Maiden Hurdle over 2m4f he fields Hollymount who has been knocking of the door of late and has a big opportunity to go close here.

Other big chances for the handler come from One Down in the Novice Chase, Fakir D'alene in the big Handicap Chase and The Four Sixes in the bumper.

Elliott heads into the meeting on Sunday posing a strike rate of 17% for the last two weeks with seven winners from 42 runners.

Jockey To Follow - Jack Foley

Up and coming 5lb claimer Jack Foley has a handful of good rides across the card at Leopardstown which makes him worth following on Sunday.

In the first race of the day he sits on Don't Tell Allen who was fifth behind the smart Minella Crooner and then in the third he gets the leg up on Milajess, who could be anything yet.

Something Street in the Handicap Hurdle needs to bounce back to form, but his big chance of the day comes in the Novice Chase with Alko Rouge a good third third last time out and building on that makes him a player.

Foley has a great career ahead of him and is worth following.
