Leopardstown Race 1 - Golf, Padel, Range At Leopardstown Launching Spring 2026 Maiden Hurdle
LE MOULIN ROUGE (8) returns after two months. Finished runner-up in a 4123m maiden hurdle here last campaign beaten 4.5L. Capable of going one spot better. GENEROUS RISK (3) seeks improvement on a sixth in a G2 flat contest tackling 3218m at this track. Switches to hurdles and looms as a serious contender. STRANGE CURRENCY (10) lifted sharply to finish in the placings attempting a 3922m maiden hurdle at Punchestown after a Limerick sixth. If reproducing that effort he could prove hard to beat. JET TO MONTE CARLO (6) improved to finish second in a 3218m maiden hurdle at Thurles last time. Holds claims again.

Third race start today. At very big odds at debut, finished seventh of 9 runners at this track on December 27 over 4023m, 13 len behind Barnahash Mason with 73kg at $10. Second-up finished fifth of 15 starters at Fairyhouse on February 3 over 3218m, in the wet; 33 len behind Harwa carrying 72kg at $81. This appears outside his grasp. May appreciate the longer journey here but happy to watch.

Recent form impressive for this race. Last start finished fourth of 9 runners at Thurles on February 19 over 4626m, 13 len behind Barnahash Mason with 71.5kg at $5. Race before finished third in a small field at Punchestown on January 26 over 3822m, on a wet track; 27 len behind The Passing Wife with 75.5kg at $29. Sure to improve again. Cannot be left out in this more suitable contest.

Useful gelding. Last start finished second of 17 runners at Thurles on February 5 over 3218m, on slow going 13 len behind Laurets D'estruval with 71.5kg at $23. The start before that; finished seventh of 15 starters at this track on December 28 over 4123m, 31 len behind Lazare De Star carrying 73kg at $7. No surprise to see him back in winner's stall.
