The Dublin Racing Festival concludes with eight stonking renewals at Leopardstown on Sunday, February 5.
There are four Grade 1s on the card and all eyes will be on the queen of National Hunt racing, Honeysuckle, as the superstar mare bids to bounce back in the Chanelle Pharma Irish Champion Hurdle (3:10pm) after suffering her first career defeat last time out. She is seeking a fourth victory in the race but faces the twin threat from Willie Mullins pair State Man and Vauban.

The Ladbrokes Novice Chase (1:40pm) is the first top-level contest of the afternoon as Drinmore winner Mighty Potter takes on five Closutton runners including James Du Berlais and Gaillard Du Mesnil before odds-on favourite Blue Lord bids to cement his Cheltenham Festival credentials in the Ladbrokes Dublin Chase (2:10pm).
We also have a red-hot favourite in the final Grade 1 of the meeting, the Tattersalls Ireland Novice Hurdle (3:40pm), but Facile Vega faces some talented rivals including stablemate Dark Raven, High Definition and Inthepocket.
The Irish Stallion Farms EBF Paddy Mullins Mares Handicap Hurdle (1:10pm) kicks off the action on Sunday, the Bulmers Leopardstown Handicap Chase (2:40pm) sees Birchdale go for back-to-back wins, while Gaelic Warrior bids for an €88,500 prize pot in the Festina Lente Charity Liffey Handicap Hurdle (4:10pm).
The Grade 2 Coolmore N.H. Sires “Santiago” Irish EBF Mares I.N.H. Flat Race (4:40pm) completes the card as Lily Du Berlais attempts to back up last year’s win in the bumper.
