14/1
Latest win in chase at Sligo in September. Below-par seventh of 10 in handicap hurdle at Naas (15.8f, heavy, 9/1) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces refitted so no surprise to see last year's winner of this bounce back.

Thriving and arrives on a hat-trick after stylish wins at Ayr and in 19-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (17f, soft) 68 days ago. Big shout despite taking an 8 lb hike in the weights.

Gamigin (10/3), Clear The Clouds (4/1), The Lucky Lobster (8/1), Coillte Aris (10/1), Magic Olinger (11/1), Ivane (11/1), Tuckmill (11/1), Papa Barns (12/1), Milk Market (12/1), Clever Currency (14/1), Miss Gherkin (16/1), Poets Cottage (16/1), Dream Escape (20/1), Diamond Dollar (25/1), Petit Dejeuner (25/1), Quite Incredible (28/1), Sunwalk (50/1), Ballerina Boxer (80/1), Inchiquin Maid (80/1)

15:25 Leopardstown - 3 March 2024 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

GAMIGIN has an 8 lb weights rise to overcome but Noel Kelly's thriving 6-y-o is still fancied to complete a hat-trick given the smoothness of his two successes at Ayr and Down Royal. The much less exposed Magic Olinger has better days ahead of him and heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for the likes of Coillte Aris, Clear The Clouds and Milk Market.
