Horse Racing tips: Timeform’s 3 best bets at Leopardstown on Sunday

* All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widgets, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change.

13:40 – O’Reilly (NAP)

O’Reilly is bred to be useful – closely related to several winners, including smart winner Black Arrow – and made a highly encouraging start when finishing runner-up to a leading fancy for the Ballysax Stakes later on the card. He beat the remainder quite comfortably despite not being drawn well while looking in need of the experience. A nice type physically, he should improve further this season – perhaps markedly so – and he sets a good standard here.

14:40 – Empress Josephine (NB)

Empress Josephine only made her debut two weeks ago, but she created a striking impression, overcoming both greenness and trouble in-running to run out a convincing winner. Her pedigree suggests she could go right to the top – she is a sister to three winners, notably the high-class Minding – and there should be plenty of improvement in her now. This is a big step up in class in a short space of time, but she represents top connections who have made a fast start to the season, and she looks the one to beat.

15:15 – Leadership Race (E/W)

Leadership Race hasn’t won since winning back-to-back nurseries in 2019, but he bounced right back to his best when finishing runner-up over a mile at Dundalk last time, and looks interesting back on turf. He was beaten only by a more progressive sort last time, but ran a solid race in defeat, and he looks leniently treated having been left on the same mark. He should get a good pace to aim at and make a bold bid.
