Leopardstown Race 3

Ballymaloe Relish Rising Stars Beginners Chase

Stake: $35,516

QUAI DE BOURBON (7) won by 6L contesting a 4000m novice hurdle at Ayr in April. Taken to win on fences debut. Stablemate CHAPEAU DE SOLEIL (5) rates a major danger on his first start since a nose success in the 4100m Listed SBK Gold Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Punchestown during May. AN TOBAR (1) failed to shine here attempting the Listed Timeless Sash Windows Handicap Hurdle. Could prove dangerous switching to fences. DEE CAPO (6) fell two out holding claims at Navan three weeks ago. Warrants close consideration.
