This weekend in Ireland features key races at leopardstown ahead of the hugely awaited Cheltenham festival.  What we have in store, is the Irish champion hurdle ,were Henry De Bromhead  smart Mayor honeysuckle takes on the Geldings of last years Cheltenham festival winner supreme winner klassical dream  who needs to put his season back on track  after a poor last race . Willett Mullins other notable gelding in there is sharjah a very consistent sort who will be at the head of the market and a live contender,  its safe to assume that  Henry De bromheads  Honeysuckle   that if she is successful, then connections well be very tempted to point her into the Cheltenham champion hurdle ,  she will have that 7lb mares allowance, if she beats the likes of sharjah and klassical dream, then she would be well worth her position in the quest for champion hurdle glory .

Fury to contest the St Ledger Doncaster Andrew Nelis

Trainer Richard Spencer has identified the St Leger at Doncaster as the primary objective for his exciting colt Tyson Fury. The Newmarket handler confirmed in February of last year that the two-time heavyweight world champion had given his blessing for the Iffraaj colt to be named in his honour, with part-owner Phil Cunningham friendly with a member of Fury's team. While it has taken a while for the equine Tyson Fury to hit the racecourse, he produced a knockout display on his Doncaster debut earlier in the month, leaving connections dreaming of a tilt at Classic glory later in the year...                      Andrew Nelis Racing

Aidan Obrien trio crack Asaault ready for the Qatar sussex stakes Goodwood Andrew Nelis racing

  £20 Risk Free First Bet Aidan O’Brien could saddle a formidable three-pronged assault in his bid for a sixth victory in the Qatar Sussex Stakes at Goodwood. It is 21 years since the popular Giant’s Causeway provided the Ballydoyle handler with his first win in the prestigious Group One contest, a success he still recalls fondly two decades on. The record-breaking Rock Of Gibraltar (2002), Henrythenavigator (2008), Rip Van Winkle (2009) and The Gurkha (2016) have all since added their names to the roll of honour in a race O’Brien ranks highly in the Flat racing calendar. “Giant’s Causeway is a horse that would come to mind when you think of the Sussex. It’s a very difficult race to win,” said the trainer. “It’s a very prestigious mile race. It’s the ultimate test really – it’s up and it’s down and it’s left and right.

Epsom Derby Runners and riders 2020 Andrew Nelis

1 AMHRAN NA BHFIANN Sire : Galileo.  Trainer : Aidan O’Brien.  Official rating : --.  Odds : 50-1 Who will add their name to the Derby roll of honour? Positives : His sister, Was, won the Oaks on her third start in 2012, while his brother, Douglas Macarthur, finished seventh in the 2017 Derby after being deployed as a pacemaker. He himself offered something to work on when fourth in a Leopardstown maiden last time, when finishing behind three stablemates who subsequently all made their presence felt in the Irish Derby. His best days are ahead of him. Negatives : Has mountain to climb on form and even his master trainer has not pulled off the trick of winning the Derby with a twice-raced maiden. Indeed, the last maiden to win the race was in 1887. Verdict : Folly to underestimate anything his trainer runs but easy enough to looks elsewhere. 2 EMISSARY Sire : Kingman.  Trainer : Hugo Palmer.  Official rating : 98.  Odds : 33-1 ...
