Furlong's verdict

Reading the form…

AI-written, grounded in our data on this race. May be wrong. Verify before staking. Opinion, not advice.

Pundit corner

Racing Post · third-party
Pundit pick: Tachos

Tachos heads this competitive 24-runner field at Leopardstown on good-to-firm ground, narrowly ahead of Pallatine Hills and Ohmali on six points, with the form suggesting he is the one they all have to beat over this nine-furlong trip. Pallatine Hills and Ohmali represent the most credible threats alongside Darkdeserthighway, who sits just a point further back and cannot be dismissed in a field of this depth. Nevertheless, Tachos's edge at the head of the assessments in a field this large carries genuine significance, and good-to-firm conditions over a mile and a furlong should play to his strengths. **Tachos** is our selection.
